About 400 people attended the annual conference and workshops for scientists who conduct experiments at SLAC’s light sources.

The Advanced LIGO gravitational wave detectors have announced their first observation of a binary neutron star coalescence.

Constellations illustrates the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics—with a love story.

Lithium ion batteries may remain tops for sheer performance, but when cost-per-storage is factored in, a design based on sodium ions offers promise; research was conducted in part at SSRL.

System tests at SLAC continue with 32 light sensors - up from a single one - in a small-scale version of the future experiment, which will use nearly 500 of them.

The X-ray scientist is honored for 20 years of beamline and instrumentation design, operation and scientific support at SLAC’s synchrotron.

Instead of searching for dark matter particles, a new device will search for dark matter waves.

A new device could open new avenues for the generation of high-frequency radiation with applications in science, radar, communications, security and medical imaging.

This novel method could shrink the equipment needed to make laser pulses billionths of a billionth of a second long for studying ultra-speedy electron movements in solids, chemical reactions and future electronics.

The early career award from SLAC’s X-ray laser recognizes Kjaer’s work in ultrafast X-ray science.
