The ultrafast, ultrabright X-ray pulses of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) have enabled unprecedented views of a catalyst in action, an important step in the effort to develop cleaner and more efficient energy sources.

Dominique White takes a look at the last cryomodule for LCLS-II delivered from Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.
