Answering the big science questions of our time around molecular reactions, biological dynamics, and materials properties at an atomic scale takes powerful tools. When the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) was first commissioned in 2009, this x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) was the brightest, fastest, and highest energy x-ray laser of its time. In order to keep pace with the requirements of science, however, it requires a major upgrade. the LCLS-II promises to change our understanding of the world around us, opening the way for new technologies, new medical treatments, and new ways of interacting with our environment. And Motion Solutions is playing a key role by supplying undulators that are fundamental to the operation of the entire system. . .
