Two enthusiastic Congressional supporters of scientific research, U.S. Reps. Anna Eshoo (D-Palo Alto) and Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose), and a panel of scientist-entrepreneurs who have benefitted from research at Bay Area light sources headlined a Silicon Valley Leadership Group (SVLG)...

Accelerator physicists at SLAC have started commissioning the world’s most compact photoinjector – a device that spits out electrons when hit by light.

A small team of researchers has used the brilliant X-rays of the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory to pin down the crystalline structure of an enzyme complex that scientists had spent nearly a decade trying to resolve.

When the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) opened its giant eye last week and began taking pictures of the ancient light from far-off galaxies, more than 120 members of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) eagerly awaited the first snapshots.

Stanford University's Precourt Institute for Energy (PIE), TomKat Center for Sustainable Energy and Precourt Energy Efficiency Center (PEEC) have awarded nine faculty seed grants totaling $2.2 million for promising new research in clean technology and energy efficiency.

More than 100 graduate and professional students attending an annual energy conference that takes place at Stanford and SLAC toured the lab on Tuesday.

A frustrating flaw in a set of custom crystals for an instrument at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory inspired a solution for an important scientific challenge: how to accurately measure the colors of each individual pulse from a powerful X-ray laser.

In a paper published Aug. 30 in Nature, an international team of researchers working at the Linac Coherent Light Source at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory describe a promising new method that directly measures, in atomic detail, how light manipulates electric...

Scientists working at SLAC's Linac Coherent Light Source have captured the first single-shot X-ray microscope image of a magnetic nanostructure and shown that it can be done without damaging the material.
