Brookhaven Lab physicists Claudio Mazzoli (left) and Mark Dean at the Coherent Soft X-ray Scattering (CSX) beamline at the National Synchrotron Light Source II. Mazzoli and Dean are part of the team of scientists led by Rutgers University that used the CSX beamline to image some magnetic domains in an iron-based "antiferromagnetic" material. The ability to image these domains is key to developing spintronics, or spin electronics, for practical applications.
