Did you know that the moon and sun's gravitational pull creates tidal forces that even affect the Advanced Photon Source? It's true: These forces subtly deform the APS every day, but don't worry—it's equipped to handle it. 👉 https://t.co/9SlFZWWBlp

As part of a multi-institutional team, @argonne scientists used the APS to investigate a material with a highly unusual structure — one that changes dramatically when exposed to an ultrafast pulse of light from a laser. https://t.co/dn0O84OtQM

A flash of light traps this material in an excited state indefinitely, and new experiments reveal how it happens.
