Wed 4 Aug 2021   15:00 - 16:00	IBP Network Webinar: Dr Allen Orville - Dynamic structure biology at synchrotrons and XFELs This event has been postponed to 15:00-16:00 on 4th August 2021 (BST). Abstract: Over the past 10 years, humans have built and opened five X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) facilities; one each in the USA, Japan, Germany, South Korea, and Switzerland. These linear electron accelerators generate X-rays in such intense and short bursts that they are a new, paradigm-shifting tool impacting nearly all scientific disciplines. My group and collaborators design novel strategies that link together...
