Dutch scientists develop super laser

The folks at Eindhoven University of Technology have referred to their latest contribution to the world of science as the "poor man's X-FEL".An X-FEL, or X-ray Free-electron Laser, that converts electrons to X-rays to observe high-speed molecular movement.super laser alternative depends on a very specific bunching of electrons to do the same thing, allowing for a much smaller much cheaper setup that fits on a tabletop.With an estimated cost of half a million euro, the laser is hardly cheap, but it's far more affordable than the competition
