(PhysOrg.com) -- A team of Brookhaven and Argonne National Laboratory researchers has demonstrated a reliable path for sculpting an intricate x-ray focusing lens out of diamond. Their technique, which was published in the January 2009 edition of the Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, could prove extremely valuable in the study of nanomaterials at future synchrotron light sources.
