X-Ray Pulse Strikes Water (IMAGE) DOE/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Caption An X-ray laser pulse at SLAC's Linac Coherent Light Source probes a supercooled water droplet (center, left). The speed and brightness of the X-ray pulses allowed researchers to study water molecules in the instant before freezing.
