Large scientific facilities driven by relativistic electron beams, such as synchrotron light sources, have played a key role in the development of physics, chemistry, biology, and material science. These massive machines produce intense x-rays that researchers use to probe molecules, atoms, crystals, and innovative new materials in order to better understand their structure and behavior. In this talk, I will give an overview of recent advances in the development of x-ray light sources. I will focus on x-ray free-electron lasers that are enabling forefront science in various areas by giving researchers unparalleled power and precision in examining the fundamental nature of matter.
