The Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory has won a 2006 R&D 100 Award for developing the first device able to focus a large spread of high-energy x-rays. The device, called a Sagittal Focusing Laue Monochromator, could be used in about 100 beamline facilities around the world to conduct scientific research in physics, biology, nanotechnology, and numerous other fields.
