This video explains how, in a previous paper, researchers were able to see two key steps in photosynthetic water splitting under conditions as it occurs in nature, a big step to decoding how the process works in detail.

New X-ray methods have captured the highest resolution room-temperature images of photosystem II.

Two recently funded computing projects work toward developing cutting-edge scientific applications for future exascale supercomputers that can perform at least a billion billion computing operations per second.

During a recent shutdown, engineers installed new beamline technology and a 3-D virtual tour captured rare views of the synchrotron’s interior.

For the first time, scientists at SLAC’s X-ray laser have created bright, three-colored X-ray pulses.

The event drew more than 400 participants, with workshops and presentations focusing on collaborations and new technology at SLAC’s light sources.

Award honors accomplishments in condensed matter physics and electrochemistry at SSRL.

SLAC’s X-ray laser provides clues to engineering a new protein to kill mosquitos that carry dengue and Zika.

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

Merging two powerful 3-D X-ray techniques, researchers revealed new details of a process known as metal poisoning that clogs the pores of catalyst particles used in gasoline production, causing them to lose effectiveness.

The new MFX station expands the X-ray laser’s capability and flexibility for biological studies, which are increasingly in demand at SLAC's Linac Coherent Light Source.
