New observations of the atomic structure of iron reveal it undergoes "twinning" under extreme stress and pressure.

The results could lead to a better understanding of reactions with vital roles in chemistry and biology.

The early career award honors Sood for his research and leadership using the LCLS user facility at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.

High-power lasers will work in concert with the lab’s X-ray laser to dramatically improve our understanding of matter in extreme conditions.

This is the first direct observation of a hydroxyl-hydronium complex – important for a wide range of chemical and biological processes from the tails of comets to cancer treatment.

Their work helps reveal the inner workings of cells and the behavior of matter under extreme pressures and temperatures.

Three physicists talk about how they got started, their work at SLAC and what they would say to others considering a career in STEM.

The work sheds light on the web of hydrogen bonds that gives water its strange properties, which play a vital role in many chemical and biological processes.

Teaching machine learning the basics of accelerator physics is particularly useful in situations where actual data don’t exist.

The process, which also facilitates name changes for religious, marital and other reasons, allows researchers of all genders to own their academic work by updating their names on previous publications.

Fulfilling a prediction of Einstein’s theory of General Relativity, researchers report the first-ever recordings of X-ray emissions from the far side of a black hole.

The research could lead to a better understanding of extreme astrophysical environments and the development of compact high-energy radiation sources for science.
