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.

The ePix series of detectors is designed to keep pace with ever more demanding experiments at SLAC and elsewhere.

Through her work with this nationwide program, Curry plans to make high-power laser facilities more accessible to researchers.

A better understanding of this process could inform the next generation of artificial photosynthetic systems that produce clean and renewable energy.

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

Topological insulators conduct electricity on their surfaces but not through their interiors. SLAC scientists discovered that high harmonic generation produces a unique signature from the topological surface.

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.

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.
