Researchers have developed a new way to use femtosecond laser pulses to fabricate the high-precision ultrathin mirrors required for high-performance X-ray telescopes. The technique could help improve the space-based X-ray telescopes used to capture high-energy cosmic events involved in forming new stars and supermassive black holes.
