With SLAC’s X-ray laser, scientists captured a virus changing shape and rearranging its genome to invade a cell.

A new X-ray laser technique allows scientists to home in on these single-electron triggers to better understand organic molecules that respond to light, including receptors in your eyes, plastic products and DNA building blocks that need to protect themselves from...

With SLAC’s X-ray laser and synchrotron, scientists measured exactly how much energy goes into keeping this crucial bond from triggering a cell's death spiral.

The method dramatically reduces the amount of virus material required and allows scientists to get results several times faster.

A decade-long search ends at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource, where researchers from The Scripps Research Institute emerge with a clear picture of how the deadly Lassa virus enters human cells.

Researchers at SLAC are already looking at the largely unexplored realm of attosecond science.

PULSE scientist Amy Cordones-Hahn describes her work on chemical reactions that turn sunlight into useable energy.

Explore the fourth dimension, from processes that occur in billions of years down to tiny slivers of a second.

Ryan Coffee, scientist at the Linac Coherent Light Source, explains in a video interview.

SLAC celebrates five days of ultrafast science.

The study at SLAC’s X-ray laser was a step toward understanding how DNA defends itself from breakage and potential mutations.

X-ray studies have produced surprising insights into the workings of a hormone receptor associated with blood pressure regulation that could be a target for new medicines related to cardiovascular conditions, neuropathic pain and tissue growth.
