TI - Science Highlights From Hard X-Ray FELs J2 - Proc. of IPAC2022, Bangkok, Thailand, 12-17 June 2022 CY - Bangkok, Thailand T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 13 LA - english AB - X-ray Free-Electron Lasers (XFELs), using high energy electron accelerators, are in operation since little more than a decade and have become a highly successful platform for scientific applications. From physics via chemistry and life-science to materials and planetary sciences XFELs are used to study atomic and electronic structure with angstrom and femtosecond resolution. The presentation will show examples of high impact research at the various facilities. A relation between the special features these XFEL facilities provide and the science enabled by them will be discussed. In the last part emphasis will be given to on-going and future developments adding capability to the XFEL facilities with the goal to widen the scientific applications and thus societal impact.
