Our new research article published in Structural Dynamics
Our Research published in OPTICA and featured on the Cover Page
The work “High-resolution ptychographic imaging at a seeded free-electron laser source using OAM beams” stems from the collaboration between DiProI at FERMI Free Electron Laser (FEL), LUXEM, and the Colorado School of Mines. For the first time, we demonstrate the feasibility of single-shot per position ptychography on a nanostructured object at a seeded FEL, using extreme ultraviolet OAM beams of different topological charge orders, generated with spiral zone plates.

LUXEM research on the Italian National Newspaper “Il Sole24Ore”
LUXEM projects ERC StG ULTRAIMAGE and ERC PoC HYPER highlighted in the Italian newspaper “Il Sole24Ore”. In the article appeared on Wednesday 20th December 2023, on “Il Sole24Ore”, Prof. Mancini explains relevance and breakthrough impact of the 2 ERC projects @LUXEM. ERC StG ULTRAIMAGE aims to unravel the rapid processes occurring in functional nanomaterials relevant to optoelectronics, photovoltaics, and biomedical devices, when hit by short light pulses. ERC PoC HYPER expands the innovative technology for ultrafast microscopy across length scales, implemented within ULTRAIMAGE, and makes it accessible to the public.
