European X-ray laser explores a poorly understood state of matter

The properties of warm dense matter have until recently been little known. Now, thanks to the use of X-ray lasers, physicists are gaining more and more information about this important but still mysterious state of matter. The first comprehensive observations of ionisation processes in warm dense matter, carried out at the European X-ray Free-Electron Laser (European XFEL), have just been presented in one of the most prestigious physics journals.

State of matter with a temperature of a few thousand degrees and a high density, close to that of a solid, can be found, among others, in the interiors of brown dwarfs or gaseous planets. Although common in the Universe, it is very difficult to be produced and analysed in the laboratory. A new era in experimental research of this so-called warm dense matter (WDM) state began just a dozen years ago, when physicists launched the first free-electron X-ray lasers. At the forefront of this type of device is the nearly 3.5 km-long European XFEL laser. A series of experiments recently carried out there made it possible to observe for the first time how quickly a metal transforms into the exotic state of ionised WDM to become transparent (non-absorbing) to X-rays at the end of the process. The achievement of the international team of scientists – including those from the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IFJ PAN) in Cracow – is discussed in a paper published in the journal Nature Physics.

X-Ray Free-Electron Lasers (XFELs) are used to generate high-intensity X-ray pulses lasting single femtoseconds, i.e. millionths of a billionth of a second. These can be used to study the structure of matter at atomic length scales and to track phenomena on extremely short time scales. One of only a dozen such devices in the world is the European XFEL in Hamburg, built in cooperation with the DESY research centre.

“In our experiment at the European XFEL, we illuminated copper samples with X-ray pulses lasting 15 femtoseconds, using different, gradually increasing intensities”, Prof. Beata Ziaja-Motyka (IFJ PAN, DESY) introduces the experiment. The first author of the paper in question, Dr. Laurent Mercadier from the European XFEL, adds some physical details: “When a single X-ray laser pulse reached the material, it caused strong ionisation. The electrons released in the process were characterised by high temperatures. Under these extreme conditions, the copper was transformed into a state of warm dense matter. We meticulously recorded how much radiation passed through the matter and from this inferred the ionisation changes in the observed system.”

Simulations carried out using the BOLTZMANN SOLVER software, developed since 2004 at DESY by Prof. Ziaja-Motyka, were particularly helpful in interpreting the measurement results. This tool was used to simulate changes in the electronic occupancy of individual energy levels in WDM depending on the intensity of the incident laser radiation.

By confronting experimental data with simulations, it was established that when the X-ray intensity becomes sufficiently high, atoms of WDM become strongly ionised. As a result of this phenomenon, new energy levels appear which can be occupied by excited electrons – making WDM opaque for photons resonant with transitions to these new energy levels. These states had already been observed previously with optical lasers, however, the lasers’ energy limitations did not allow them to be studied in more detail. Now, thanks to the European X-ray laser XFEL, it is possible to characterise them accurately also in response to various intensities of X-ray pulses. In accordance with theoretical predictions for X-ray absorption spectra, prepared by Dr. Joshua Kas (University of Washington, USA) and Dr. Andrei Benediktovitch (DESY, Hamburg), it was further observed that with increasing the laser intensity the warm dense matter becomes first opaque and then – at highest intensities – transparent to the laser pulse.

“The appearance of ‘transparency’ – i.e. lack of absorption – in WDM is a consequence of the high ionisation of WDM atoms occurring at sufficiently high X-ray pulse intensities. The energy of the X-ray photons available in the experiment then becomes too small to excite further electrons. As a result, these photons cannot be absorbed by the warm dense matter at all,” explains Prof. Ziaja-Motyka.

Knowledge of the properties of warm dense matter and the processes taking place within it is not only of astrophysical, but also of practical, engineering importance. Matter in this state plays an important role in certain types of controlled nuclear fusion (ICF – Inertial Confinement Fusion), and also appears during the ablation of metallic heat shields of spacecraft returning from orbit to Earth.

The team of physicists at the European X-ray XFEL laser, led by Prof. Nina Rohringer (DESY, Universität Hamburg), intends to continue research into the electron and ionisation processes occurring in WDM and their dynamics. On the Polish side, the work is co-financed by the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

How to Prevent Mold Growth with Expert Basement Waterproofing 🧱💧

Mold—the word alone is enough to make homeowners cringe. This silent intruder is not just an eyesore; it’s a serious threat to your health and your home’s structural integrity. And where does mold most often start its attack? The basement. Dark, damp, and often overlooked, the basement offers the perfect breeding ground for mold growth.

Fortunately, there’s a highly effective way to stop mold in its tracks: professional basement waterproofing. In this guide, we’ll explore how to prevent mold before it starts and why working with professionals like WDM Basement Waterproofing Wilmington is essential in safeguarding your home and your health. 🏠🛡️

🌫️ What Causes Mold Growth in Basements?

Mold is a type of fungus that thrives in moist, dark environments. Basements, especially in humid regions like Wilmington, Delaware, are prime targets for mold infestations.

Here are the top causes of mold growth in basements:

1. Excess Moisture

Moisture enters basements through foundation cracks, leaks, poor drainage, and condensation. Whether it’s a small leak or a flood, any water intrusion provides the moisture mold needs to thrive.

2. High Humidity

Wilmington’s weather, with its humid summers and wet winters, makes it easy for indoor humidity to rise. When relative humidity exceeds 60%, conditions become favorable for mold.

3. Poor Ventilation

Basements often have minimal airflow. When air circulation is limited, moisture lingers longer—feeding mold spores that are already present in the air.

4. Organic Materials

Wood, drywall, carpet, and insulation—all commonly found in basements—are rich in cellulose, mold’s favorite food source. Once mold spores land on these materials, growth begins rapidly.

⚠️ Why Mold Is a Serious Problem

Mold growth isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a health hazard and a financial liability. Let’s take a closer look at why mold must be prevented at all costs:

👩‍⚕️ Health Risks

Why Combined Technology Solutions Are Revolutionizing Data Centers

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, data centers face unprecedented challenges. The exponential growth of data consumption, cloud computing demands, and the emergence of AI workloads have pushed traditional infrastructure to its limits. Forward-thinking facility managers and network engineers are increasingly turning to combined technology solutions to address these challenges head-on.

The Perfect Storm: Modern Data Center Challenges

The modern data center operates in a perfect storm of competing priorities. Facility managers must simultaneously increase capacity, reduce latency, minimize power consumption, conserve space, and ensure scalability for future growth—all while keeping costs under control.

Traditional approaches—with separate systems for different functions—are proving increasingly inefficient. Every rack unit matters. Every watt of power counts. Every millisecond of latency impacts performance. This environment demands smarter, integrated solutions.

The Rise of Converged Infrastructure

Converged infrastructure has emerged as the natural response to these mounting pressures. By intelligently combining technologies that traditionally existed in isolation, data centers can achieve significant improvements across multiple metrics simultaneously.

This convergence manifests most visibly in cabling infrastructure. The days of running separate cable paths for different functions are rapidly fading. Modern facilities leverage integrated solutions that combine multiple transmission media and capabilities within single cable runs.

The Game-Changing Impact of Composite Cabling

Among the most significant developments in this space is the advancement of composite cabling technology. Copper/fiber composite cables exemplify this trend, providing a perfect illustration of how combined technology solutions deliver tangible benefits.

These innovative cables integrate copper conductors for power delivery alongside optical fibers for data transmission within a single cable jacket. The advantages are immediate and substantial:

Streamlined installation: Network teams can deploy both power and data transmission capabilities in a single pull, reducing installation time by up to 50%.

Space optimization: Consolidated pathways free up valuable space in congested data center environments.

Simplified management: Unified cable runs reduce complexity and minimize the risk of cable management errors.

Enhanced cooling efficiency: Fewer cable bundles improve airflow, contributing to better thermal management.

Future-ready infrastructure: The inherent flexibility of composite solutions makes adapting to changing requirements significantly easier.

Beyond Basic Connectivity: Advanced Component Integration

The revolution extends beyond basic cabling to the components that connect and manage data center networks. Purpose-built MPO/MTP cassettes now integrate multiple functions that previously required separate devices.

These advanced cassettes can seamlessly transition between different connector types, fiber counts, and even incorporate basic WDM functionality. This reduces connection points, minimizes insertion loss, and simplifies troubleshooting.

By consolidating what were once multiple discrete components into unified systems, data centers achieve greater reliability while reducing the physical footprint of connectivity infrastructure.

Wavelength Division Multiplexing: More from Less

The principles of technology convergence are perhaps most powerfully demonstrated in the widespread adoption of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technologies. FWDM (filtered WDM), CWDM (coarse WDM), and DWDM (dense WDM) systems allow multiple data signals to travel simultaneously over a single fiber by using different wavelengths of light.

This approach dramatically increases the capacity of existing fiber infrastructure without requiring additional cabling. A single fiber pair using DWDM technology can carry 96 or more separate channels, each operating at 100Gbps or higher—effectively multiplying capacity by two orders of magnitude.

For data centers facing space constraints but needing massive bandwidth increases, these multiplexing technologies represent the ultimate form of infrastructure consolidation.

Real-World Impact: Case Studies in Convergence

The benefits of combined technology solutions aren't theoretical—they're being realized in data centers worldwide:

A major cloud provider recently retrofitted a facility using composite cabling and integrated connectivity components, reducing their cable volume by 40% while increasing total bandwidth capacity by 300%. The reduced cable mass improved cooling efficiency, lowering cooling costs by approximately 15%.

Similarly, a financial services data center implemented advanced MPO/MTP cassette systems alongside DWDM technology, consolidating what had been eight separate fiber runs into a single high-capacity link. The change not only quadrupled available bandwidth but freed up valuable pathway space for future expansion.

Implementation Considerations

While the advantages of combined technology solutions are compelling, successful implementation requires careful planning:

Bandwidth forecasting: Accurately projecting future needs ensures your integrated solution won't become a limitation.

Power budgeting: Composite systems that include power delivery must be carefully engineered to handle anticipated loads while maintaining signal integrity.

Optical power calculations: When implementing WDM technologies, careful attention to optical power budgets is essential to ensure reliable signal transmission.

Accessibility planning: Integrated systems can sometimes present challenges for maintenance and troubleshooting. Design with service access in mind.

Training and documentation: Staff must understand how to properly work with these more sophisticated systems.

The Future is Converged

As data centers continue evolving to meet ever-increasing demands, the trend toward combined technology solutions will only accelerate. We're seeing early explorations of even more ambitious integration, including:

Photonic integrated circuits that combine multiple optical functions on single silicon chips

Composite systems that integrate cooling alongside power and data

Smart infrastructure with embedded monitoring and diagnostic capabilities

These developments represent the next frontier in data center optimization, promising even greater efficiencies.

Conclusion

The revolution in data center infrastructure isn't coming—it's already here. Combined technology solutions, exemplified by innovations like copper/fiber composite cabling, advanced MPO/MTP cassette systems, and sophisticated WDM implementations, are fundamentally changing how we design, build, and operate these critical facilities.

Organizations that embrace these converged approaches gain immediate advantages in terms of space utilization, energy efficiency, and operational flexibility. Perhaps most importantly, they position themselves to more readily adapt to the unpredictable but certainly substantial demands that tomorrow's digital ecosystem will place on data center infrastructure.

In a competitive landscape where efficiency translates directly to business advantage, combined technology solutions aren't just beneficial—they're becoming essential.
