The results show how a particle’s surface and interior influence each other, an important thing to know when developing more robust batteries.

A major international effort at SLAC is focused on improving our views of intact viruses, living bacteria and other tiny samples using the brightest...

Ultrafast manipulation of material properties with light could stimulate the development of novel electronics, including quantum computers.

Revealing both sides of the story in a single experiment has been a grand scientific challenge.

In experiments at the National Ignition Facility, a SLAC-led team found new details about how supernovas boost charged particles to nearly the speed of...

SLAC scientists and engineers celebrated the completion of a new clean room, where the lab will assemble the camera of the future Large Synoptic...

This new technology could enable future insights into chemical and biological processes that occur in solution, such as vision, catalysis and photosynthesis.

The technique can be used to study molecular phenomena and the forming and breaking of chemical bonds.

Combined with the lab’s LCLS X-ray laser, it’ll provide unprecedented atomic views of some of nature’s speediest processes.

Using an X-ray laser, researchers watched atoms rotate on the surface of a material that was demagnetized in millionths of a billionth of a...

Cooks think of watched pots. Handymen grumble about drying paint.

Researchers investigate how much damage spreads through molecules struck by a pulse from LCLS.
