With X-ray imaging at SLAC’s synchrotron, scientists uncovered a 6th century translation of a book by the Greek-Roman doctor Galen. The words had been scraped off the parchment manuscript and written over with hymns in the 11th century.

Using SLAC’s X-ray laser, researchers have made detailed 3-D images of nanoscale biology, with future applications in the study of air pollution, combustion and catalytic processes.

About 400 people attended the annual conference and workshops for scientists who conduct experiments at SLAC’s light sources.

Kumar’s work, carried out in part at SSRL, explains how memristors work – a new class of electronic devices with applications in next-generation information storage and computing.

With SLAC’s X-ray laser, scientists captured a virus changing shape and rearranging its genome to invade a cell.

Over the next five years they’ll work on getting significantly more information about how catalysts work and improving biological imaging methods.

Using an electric field, researchers drew magnetic designs in nonmagnetic material. These efforts could lead to new types of storage devices.

Paleontologist Phil Manning describes the “Imaging Life on Earth” project at TEDxCharleston.

The discovery is one of the first steps towards mapping hues of fossilized species.

The fellowship will support their research into developing new methods of imaging tiny particles and understanding the properties of the Higgs boson.

Liu acknowledged for wide-ranging work in energy materials, catalysis, carbon sequestration, material in extreme conditions and scientific big data mining.
