X-ray laser studies help researchers identify early steps in the freezing process to better understand how clouds make ice and their effect on climate.

Leora Dresselhaus-Marais, Claudio Emma,  Bernhard Mistlberger and Johanna Nelson Weker will pursue cutting-edge research into decarbonizing steel production, theoretical physics, generating more intense particle beams, and improving X-ray microscopes.

Bringing ultrafast physics to structural biology has revealed the coordinated dance of molecules in unprecedented clarity, which could aid in the design of new light-responsive materials.

The facility is now one step away from releasing an unprecedented stream of ultra-bright X-rays.

The long – but not too long – cavity would ping-pong X-ray pulses inside of a particle accelerator facility to help capture nature’s fastest movements.

After decades of effort, scientists have finally seen the process by which nature creates the oxygen we breathe using SLAC’s X-ray laser.

The algorithm pairs machine-learning techniques with classical beam physics equations to avoid massive data crunching.

By tinkering and troubleshooting, Aalayah Spencer helps turn researchers’ ideas into state-of-the-art science experiments.

Experiments visualize how 2D perovskite structures change when excited.

Two GEM Fellows reflect on their summer internships at SLAC and share their thoughts on representation and mentorship.
