Developed at SLAC’s LCLS, it could also yield new information from hard-to-study samples in materials science, chemistry and other fields.

For the first time, researchers have produced a 3-D image revealing some of the inner structure of an intact, infectious virus.

An X-ray laser experiment could lead to new drugs that lessen the side effects caused by powerful painkillers like morphine.

Scientists have used an X-ray laser at SLAC to get the first glimpse of the transition state where two atoms begin to form a weak bond on the way to becoming a molecule.

Technique Could Allow Study of Viral Infections, Cell Division and Photosynthesis in New Detail

Research reveals that the bacterial immune system can better destroy viral attackers by saving genetic records of previously encountered viruses.

Scientists have assembled an exotic toolbox for experiments that tap into the brightest X-rays on the planet.

In an important step toward handling the nation’s uranium milling legacy, researchers try to understand why contamination at remediated uranium processing sites continues to persist at dangerously high levels.

Stanford and SLAC engineers observed electrons at work during catalytic reactions. Their findings challenge long-held theories about some catalysts, opening the door to new or improved renewable energy applications.

SLAC study shows the so-called ‘pseudogap’ hoards electrons that otherwise might pair up to carry current through a material with 100 percent efficiency.

A scientist at Germany’s DESY lab who participated in pioneering studies at SLAC's LCLS has been awarded a scientific prize by a research foundation.

Understanding details of a flu antibody offers new insight for future structure-based drug discovery and novel avenues for designing vaccines.
