Seen in atomic detail, the seemingly smooth flow of ions through a battery’s electrolyte is a lot more complicated.

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

Three SLAC scientists will receive Early Career Research Program grants from the U.S. Department of Energy for research to boost the peak power of...

SLAC researchers have demonstrated for the first time how to produce pairs of X-ray laser pulses in slightly different wavelengths, or colors, with finely...

Wan-Lin Hu’s job is to improve the way people and artificial intelligence collaborate to run SLAC’s complex machines.

An international team of researchers has used SLAC’s Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) to discover never-before-seen behavior by electrons in complex materials with extraordinary...

Scientists who perform experiments at SLAC’s lightsources gathered online for research talks, workshops and discussions.

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

The Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to theorists Peter Higgs and Francois Englert to recognize their work developing the theory of what...

Researchers used cryo-EM (left) to discover how a chamber in human cells (right) directs protein folding. 

SLAC completed its work on ComCam, a commissioning device to be installed in Chile later this year.

Finding ways to handle torrents of data from LSST and LCLS-II will also advance “exascale” computing.
