On April 20, 2023 we celebrated 50 years of transformative science at SSRL. This unique event acknowledged many individuals who have made SSRL such a vital and impactful facility through partnerships among SSRL users and staff that fuel our success.
Professor at SLAC and Stanford Director of CryoEM and Bioimaging Division at SLAC
Areas of research: Science of life; cryo-EM; bioimaging; RNA structure; cryo-ET of neuronal cells; atomic-resolution cryo-EM; pandemic-related structures
As deputy director for operations and chief operating officer, John Connolly is responsible for ensuring the effective integration and performance of operations functions that support the lab’s growing scientific mission. He collaborates closely with our science directorates and works to...
Co-Director of Chemistry & Catalysis Division, Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL); Distinguished Staff Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC)
Areas of research: X-ray absorption spectroscopy, operando catalyst characterization, catalyst structure-property relationships, new methods of catalyst characterization
Every day, SLAC people can be seen collaborating across our beautiful campus. The Main Quad is busy during lunch with colleagues catching up, and our buildings offer spaces to think up new ideas. Explore SLAC through our articles or take...
SLAC researchers are experts in a broad range of scientific disciplines, including X-ray and ultrafast science, physics of the universe, advanced accelerators, energy sciences, science of life and new technologies.
Scientists discover that triggering superconductivity with a flash of light involves the same fundamental physics that are at work in the more stable states needed for devices, opening a new path toward producing room-temperature superconductivity.
Register to watch in person in the Kavli Auditorium, or watch the lecture live on our YouTube page. For a decade, SLAC has been using its X-ray laser, the Linac Coherent Light Source, to explore the properties of matter at...
