By means of standing
X-ray wave fields, they were able to scan both graphene and substrate at a precision of a few millionths of a micrometre — less than a tenth of the radius of an atom.

These high temperatures and the black hole's extreme magnetic
field will excite G2's component particles, causing them to radiate and bathe the mysterious region in visible light,
X-rays and radio
waves.
As early as 2021 it will be joined by the Einstein Probe, a wide -
field x-ray sentinel for transient phenomena such as gamma ray bursts and the titanic collisions of neutron stars or black holes that generate gravitational
waves.
Combined, these undulating
fields are known as electromagnetic
waves, and give us visible light, as well as invisible radio
waves, microwaves and
X-rays.
We know that for energies of modest to intermediate energy, the culprit or the source of the acceleration appears to be the shock front that surrounds a [an] expanding supernova blast
wave; that is to say, we have a star that undergoes a massive cosmic explosion [and] drives a strong shock
wave out into the surrounding interstellar medium, and the gas around the shock
wave, and all the magnetic
fields associated with it are capable of accelerating particles to very high energies; and also incidentally magnifying and amplifying the magnetic
field associated with that shock front and giving a lot of
x-ray emission and radio emission and so on, and so we've understood that.
The image is a colorized composite of low - energy
x-rays (red) showing debris and high - energy
x-rays (blue) showing the blast
wave, plus the visible
field of stars around it.
