An international team has used super-bright X-rays to capture intricate details of COVID-19 lung damage — and much more. Their technique — called Hierarchical Phase-Contrast Tomography (HiP-CT) — relies on X-rays from the European Synchrotron Research Facility particle accelerator in Grenoble, France. Following its Extremely Brilliant Source upgrade (ESRF-EBS), European Synchrotron can produce X-rays 100 […]
