The results, which show how the protein adds nucleotides to the growing RNA chain, could lead to more effective medications.

The research could lead to a better understanding of how metals behave under extreme conditions, which will aid in the development of more resilient...

SLAC is taking part in a multi-institutional effort to help reach net-zero carbon emissions goals in difficult-to-electrify industries.

By tinkering and troubleshooting, Aalayah Spencer helps turn researchers’ ideas into state-of-the-art science experiments.

Download a variety of fact sheets to learn more about SLAC, our programs and latest scientific discoveries. 

Scientists studying laser-plasma proton acceleration made an unexpected breakthrough, simultaneously resolving multiple long-standing problems although they had only aimed to address one. 

Encapsulating precious-metal catalysts in a web-like alumina framework could reduce the amount needed in catalytic converters – and our dependency on these scarce metals.

Supported by SLAC's catalysis group Co-ACCESS, researchers discover new ways to boost the performance of catalysts that turn carbon dioxide into methanol. 

SLAC researchers help develop an automated analytical method to speed the discovery process in single atom catalysts.
