Imagine a car that accelerates from zero to 60 in 250 feet and then rockets to 120 miles per hour in just one more inch.

Picking a relatively simple system, scientists at the Department of Energy's Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) and their collaborators used advanced tools to see the very first instants of change in a solid brought to the edge of melting.

CA—Scientists working in part at the Department of Energy's Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (SSRL) have discovered a gene for a protein that regulates the cellular response to copper in the bacterium that causes tuberculosis.

A collaboration of scientists including researchers from the Department of Energy's Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) have for the first time successfully demonstrated the use of extremely short and intense soft X-ray pulses to capture images of objects before the...

The Department of Energy's Stanford Linear Accelerator Center officially broke ground today for the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), the world's first X-ray free-electron laser. Scheduled for completion in 2009, the LCLS will produce ultra-fast, ultra-short pulses of X-rays a...

Stanford Professor Roger D. Kornberg has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for determining how DNA’s genetic blueprint is read and used to direct the process for protein manufacture.

Finding something expected has brought researchers at the Department of Energy's Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) one step closer to discovering the unexpected.

Dark matter, the elusive stuff that makes up a quarter of the universe, has been seen in isolation for the first time.

Finally, after more than 1000 years in obscurity, the last unreadable pages of the works of ancient mathematician Archimedes are being deciphered, thanks to the x-ray vision at the Department of Energy's Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC).

On July 14, the Department of Energy's Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) was officially accepted into the ATLAS collaboration, a consortium of researchers and institutions working on the ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS) detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)...
