Professor Jasper van Thor and Dr Niladri Banerjee speak about LUXD, a world-unique instrument being commissioned in the physics department, designed for femtosecond time-resolved chemical crystallography and ultrafast solid state physics. It is a femtosecond pulsed hard X-ray source based on laser-driven plasma generation, aiming at full molecular structure determination by recording all reflections rather than single ones. The talk covers the development of this technique at X-ray free electron lasers and LUXD.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/london/events/solving-crystal-structures-with-femtosecond-time-resolution-135136/", "official_url": "https://www.imperial.ac.uk/events/216456/solving-crystal-structures-with-femtosecond-time-resolution-for-solid-state-physics-research-luxd/", "image": "", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-18T14:00:00Z", "end": "2026-11-18T15:00:00Z", "place": "Imperial College London", "address": "Exhibition Road, SW7 2AZ London", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "HEP seminar: Michael Revering (Cambridge) – Extending the LHC reach to very long lifetimes: the design concept and current status of the ANUBIS experiment", "start": "2026-11-11T15:00:00Z", "end": "2026-11-11T16:00:00Z", "place": "Imperial College London", "address": "Exhibition Road, SW7 2AZ London", "price": "Free", "price_from": "0.00", "price_to": "0.00", "category": "talks-readings", "tags": ["science/physics/particle-physics"], "description": "A free particle physics seminar at Imperial College London, open to all on a first-come-first-served basis.
