SUMMARY:Science Opportunities with Powerful New X-ray Sources\, R. G. 
 Herb Condensed Matter Seminar\, Uwe Bergmann\, Stanford PULSE Institut
 e\, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:Over the past century X-rays have revolutionized numerous 
 fields of science. Starting in the 1970s powerful new synchrotrons sou
 rces have dramatically advanced the scientific use of X-rays and in th
 e last decade new X-ray free electron lasers\, such as the Linac Coher
 ent Light Source (LCLS) have come to light. While the latest generatio
 n of synchrotron sources is now approaching the theoretical limits\, X
 -ray lasers are still in their infancy and major upgrades are underway
 . X-ray laser sources produce ultra-short pulses with a an enormous br
 ightness\, and for the first time scientist can study matter not just 
 at the length scale of atoms and molecules\, but also at the time scal
 e of molecular motion. We will describe these fascinating machines\, a
 nd present examples and opportunities for current and future synchrotr
 on and X-ray laser research.
