Researchers have uncovered new insights about tungsten's ability to conduct heat, which could lead to materials advancements for fusion reactor and aerospace technologies.

Following the NIF ignition demonstrations, the prospect of developing a fusion energy source using lasers looks brighter than ever. 

SLAC will partner in two collaborations that aim to speed up progress in fusion energy science and technology.

High-power lasers will work in concert with the lab’s X-ray laser to dramatically improve our understanding of matter in extreme conditions.

Online educational programs offer new possibilities.

From middle schoolers to graduate students, more than 300 were introduced this year to real-world science, technology, engineering and math.
