SLAC works with two small businesses to make its ACE3P software easier to use in supercomputer simulations for optimizing the shapes of accelerator structures.

The facility, LCLS-II, will soon sharpen our view of how nature works on ultrasmall, ultrafast scales, impacting everything from quantum devices to clean energy.

FACET-II will pave the way for a future generation of particle colliders and powerful light sources, opening avenues in high-energy physics, medicine, and materials...

A new study with the LCLS X-ray laser could change the way researchers take atomic-level snapshots of important biological machineries, potentially affecting research in...

By capturing the most energetic light in the sky, the spacecraft continues to teach us about the mysteries of the universe.

The foils, each made from a single chemical element, are used to calibrate X-ray equipment at SLAC’s SSRL synchrotron, and were donated by long-time...

In the decade since LCLS produced its first light, it has pushed boundaries in countless areas of discovery.

Marking the beginning of the LCLS-II era, the first phase of the major upgrade comes online.

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

It uses terahertz radiation to power a miniscule copper accelerator structure.

Edward Hohenstein, Emma McBride and Caterina Vernieri study what happens to molecules hit by light, recreate extreme states of matter like those inside stars...

To break, or not to break: An unprecedented atomic movie captures the moment when molecules decide how to respond to light.
