Called XLEAP, the new method will provide sharp views of electrons in chemical processes that take place in billionths of a billionth of a second and drive crucial aspects of life.

A better understanding of ‘checkpoint proteins,’ which protect cancer cells against immune system strikes, could lead to the development of more effective drugs.

Chemist Ben Ofori-Okai investigates what happens to matter under extreme conditions at microscopic scales to better understand its behavior at massive scales, such as what happens in the Earth’s core.

Molecular movie-making is both an art and a science; the results let us watch how nature works on the smallest scales.

The annual conference for scientists who conduct research at SLAC’s light sources engaged about 350 researchers in talks, workshops and discussions.

She is recognized for two decades of innovation and excellence at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource.

A new study shows how soccer ball-shaped molecules burst more slowly than expected when blasted with an X-ray laser beam.

Early career award recognizes Mitrano’s work in ultrafast X-ray scattering.

The studies could lead to a new understanding of how high-temperature superconductors operate.

The SLAC scientists will each receive $2.5 million for their research on fusion energy and advanced radiofrequency technology.

The technique can be used to study molecular phenomena and the forming and breaking of chemical bonds.
