X-ray images and chemical details of the coronavirus may soon be a reality, thanks to new, laser-based pulse equipment that can capture images of virus droplets on X-rays.
The machinery is synchronized within quadrillionths of a second, according to scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. “The goal is to study the virus in certain biofluids, like saliva, and how it reacts to compounds mixed into the droplets,” they said.
