Using an advanced technique at SLAC’s Linac Coherent Light Source, researchers make surprising discoveries.

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 research lays the groundwork for deeper exploration of high-temperature superconducting materials, with real-world applications such as lossless power grids and advanced quantum technologies.

The microelectronics that power daily life and speed discoveries in science and technology are the focus of a bold new vision to make them more energy efficient and able to operate in extreme environments.

LCLS X-rays allowed researchers to connect the molecular dynamics of supercritical carbon dioxide, used in industrial and environmental applications, with its unique properties.

Researchers across the lab are developing AI tools to harness data and particle beams in real time and make molecular movies, speeding up the discovery process in the era of big data.

An associate scientist at SSRL, Richardson studies plant growth to find ways to enhance nutrient uptake in plants, especially in challenging conditions – such as higher temperatures, drought, and intense precipitation events – brought about by climate change.

Scientists worldwide who conduct research at SLAC’s light sources shine light on latest discoveries and innovations in talks, workshops and discussions.

The SLAC professor was elected to the American Physical Society in recognition of his research on ultrafast X-ray methods.

This research advances our understanding of Earth's deep interior and exoplanets, opening new research avenues in Earth and planetary sciences.

The high-energy upgrade will keep the U.S. at the forefront of X-ray science and technology, allowing researchers to advance fields such as sustainability, human health and quantum information.

David Cesar, Julia Gonski and W.L. Kimmy Wu will each receive $2.75 million issued over five years for their research in X-ray and ultrafast science, new physics and primordial gravitational waves.
