SLAC scientists have found a new way to produce bright pulses of light from accelerated electrons that could shrink "light source" technology used around...

Turning a brittle oxide into a flexible membrane and stretching it on a tiny apparatus flipped it from a conducting to an insulating state...

Scientists at SLAC have found a new method to create coherent beams of twisted light – light that spirals around a central axis as...

In a SLAC test facility, scientists have set the stage for an experiment that mimics what happens when incredibly energetic cosmic ray particles hit...

These inexpensive photosensitizers could make solar power and chemical manufacturing more efficient. Experiments at SLAC offer insight into how they work.

Linear Accelerator Generates First Positron Beams Since 2008

Installation of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument begins at Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona.

A ‘nonlinear’ phenomenon that seemingly turns materials transparent is seen for the first time in X-rays at SLAC’s Linac Coherent Light Source.

The goal of the DuraMat consortium is to make solar modules last longer, and thus drive down the cost of solar energy.

Scientists have engineered a cheap, abundant alternative to the expensive platinum catalyst and coupled it with a light-absorbing electrode to make hydrogen fuel from...

Scientists get dramatically better resolution at X-ray free-electron lasers with a new technique.

The results, which show that ultrafast atomic motions are the first step in forming a magnetic state, could lead to faster and more efficient...
