Researchers at the ALS used “soft” X-rays to image structures only five nanometers in size. This resolution is the highest ever achieved with X-ray microscopy and may have ushered in a new era for nanoscale imaging. Diffraction data is recorded by a high speed CCD camera and fed through a Data Pipeline consisting of a 43K GPU core infiniband LInux cluster, a high speed 10 gigabit network and a Data Transfer Node running Globus Online implemented by the High Performance Computing Services Group.
