Biochemical 'action shots' with SLAC’s X-ray laser could help scientists develop synthetic enzymes for medicine and answer fundamental questions about how enzymes change during chemical reactions.

With SLAC’s X-ray laser, a research team captured ultrafast changes in fluorescent proteins between “dark” and “light” states. The insights allowed the scientists to design improved markers for biological imaging.

The Scripps researcher is honored for groundbreaking research at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource that accelerated the development of a vaccine for deadly Lassa fever.

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.
