Researchers have captured the highest-resolution snapshots ever taken with an X-ray laser, revealing how a key protein in a photosynthetic bacterium changes shape when hit by light. They achieved a resolution of 1.6 angstroms, equivalent to the radius of a single tin atom. https://www.llnl.gov/news/x-ray-laser-acts-tool-track-life%E2%80%99s-chemistry 255 comments 6/12/2014 science
