Abstract: Photon and particle sources are powerful tools with extremely high societal impact because they underpin myriad groundbreaking scientific, technological, and medical advancements. Topological and structured photonics can probe, excite, and manipulate matter with unparalleled spatiotemporal accuracy to study new functional materials. They can also carry quantum-level information with many degrees of freedom without suffering decoherence, and thus render new technologies in quantum materials, information sciences, and (bio)chemical physics, among others. In the X-ray regime, ultrafast photon and electron sources, such as X-ray free-electron lasers (XFEL), have demonstrated the capacity to make molecular movies that reveal conformational dynamics in biomolecules and ultrafast chemistry at atomic-level spatial and femtosecond temporal resolutions. Motivated by their overarching relevance, we will review some of the most recent scientific and technological advances in photon and particle sources and some of their most important breakthroughs in life, chemistry, and energy sciences. We also discuss the potential impact of emerging technologies to tackle global challenges in environmental and chemical engineering, medical technologies, and other broader applications.
