Scientists for the first time tracked ultrafast structural changes, captured in quadrillionths-of-a-second steps, as ring-shaped gas molecules burst open and unraveled.

An experiment at SLAC’s X-ray laser provides new insight into the ultrafast motions of a muscle protein in a basic biochemical reaction.

A team led by Stanford University scientists is using software to breathe new life into results from past biological experiments at SLAC’s X-ray laser.

An experiment at SLAC's X-ray laser has revealed in atomic detail how a hypertension drug binds to a cellular receptor that plays a key role in regulating blood pressure.

Developed at SLAC’s LCLS, it could also yield new information from hard-to-study samples in materials science, chemistry and other fields.

For the first time, researchers have produced a 3-D image revealing some of the inner structure of an intact, infectious virus.

An X-ray laser experiment could lead to new drugs that lessen the side effects caused by powerful painkillers like morphine.

Technique Could Allow Study of Viral Infections, Cell Division and Photosynthesis in New Detail

Research reveals that the bacterial immune system can better destroy viral attackers by saving genetic records of previously encountered viruses.

Scientists have assembled an exotic toolbox for experiments that tap into the brightest X-rays on the planet.

Research performed in part at SLAC has provided new insights into how "TH proteins" couple two important processes needed to maintain healthy cells.

A scientist at Germany’s DESY lab who participated in pioneering studies at SLAC's LCLS has been awarded a scientific prize by a research foundation.
