This is the first measurement of its kind and will enable researchers to evaluate electron dynamics in a new range of super-small particles,  valued  for their ability to trap and manipulate light. 

The method could lead to the development of new materials with tailored properties, with potential applications in fields such as climate change, quantum computing and drug design.

In a new study, SLAC researchers suggest a small-scale solution could be the key to solving a large-scale mystery.

With up to a million X-ray flashes per second, 8,000 times more than its predecessor, it transforms the ability of scientists to explore atomic-scale, ultrafast phenomena that are key to a broad range of applications, from quantum materials to clean...

If scaled up successfully, the team's new system could help answer questions about certain kinds of superconductors and other unusual states of matter.

Spiraling laser light reveals how topological insulators lose their ability to conduct electric current on their surfaces.

Researchers discover they contain a phase of quantum matter, known as charge density waves, that’s common in other unconventional superconductors. In other ways, though, they’re surprisingly unique.

The leaders of SLAC's Technology Innovation Directorate discuss how their group supports the lab's most innovative projects.

It’s a significant step in understanding these whirling quasiparticles and putting them to work in future semiconductor technologies.

Less than a millionth of a billionth of a second long, attosecond X-ray pulses allow researchers to peer deep inside molecules and follow electrons as they zip around and ultimately initiate chemical reactions.
