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...

Light-driven reactions are at the heart of human vision, photosynthesis and solar power generation. Seeing the very first step opens the door to observing...

An LCLS imaging technique reveals how a mosquito-borne bacterium deploys a toxin to kill mosquito larvae. Scientists hope to harness it to fight disease.

What they learned could lead to a better understanding of how ionizing radiation can damage material systems, including cells.

New research shows that when a bunch of electrons zooms through the middle of a ring-shaped laser beam, the bunch can wind up with...

The technique could improve the efficiency of data collection and pave the way for new kinds of experiments.

A new study uncovers how a critical protein binds to drugs used to treat asthma and other inflammatory diseases.

What they learned could lead to a better understanding of how antibiotics are broken down in the body, potentially leading to the development of...

The annual conference for scientists who conduct research at SLAC’s light sources engaged about 350 researchers in talks, workshops and discussions.

Most electric cars, from the Tesla Model S to the Nissan Leaf, run on rechargeable lithium-ion batteries – a pricey technology that accounts for...
