Toro and Schuster are being recognized for their contributions to the design of experiments that use particle accelerators to search for dark matter particles.

Knowing a magnet’s past will allow scientists to customize particle beams more precisely in the future. As accelerators stretch for higher levels of performance, understanding subtle effects, such as those introduced by magnetic history, is becoming more critical.

Edelen draws on machine learning to fine tune particle accelerators, while Kurinsky develops dark matter detectors informed by quantum information science.

The Small Business Innovation Research Program brings government and private industry together to develop next-generation X-ray optics for LCLS-II.

Molecular movie-making is both an art and a science; the results let us watch how nature works on the smallest scales.

The X-rays they produce reveal the secrets of everything from ancient texts to modern pharmaceuticals.

Taking pictures of tiny, flash-frozen things with electrons is revolutionizing biology and technology. SLAC and Stanford host one of the world’s leading facilities for doing cryo-EM research, improving the technology and making it available to researchers across the country.

It will explore cosmic mysteries as part of the Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time.

After decades of experience in the DOE lab system and as director of a leading synchrotron light source, he’s back to where he earned his PhD – with a much bigger mission.

By revealing the chemistry of plant secretions, or exudates, these studies build a basis for better understanding and conserving art and tools made with plant materials.
