The trickle before the torrent—diffraction data from X-ray lasers

Today Scientific Data launched a collection of publications describing data from X-ray free-electron lasers under the theme ‘Structural Biology Applications of X-ray Lasers’. The papers cover data on nanocrystals, single virus particles, isolated cell organelles, and living cells. All data are deposited with the Coherent X-ray Imaging Data Bank (CXIDB) and available to the scientific community to develop ideas, tools and procedures to meet challenges with the expected torrents of data from new X-ray lasers, capable of producing billion exposures per day.
