Areas of research: X-ray and ultrafast science; Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS); LCLS-II; molecular movies; chemical sciences; chemical dynamics; X-ray imaging; ultrafast electron diffraction (UED)
Our X-ray laser LCLS has been at the forefront of discovery science since it first turned on in 2009. Work at the facility truly embodies one overarching motto: To study the ultrasmall and the ultrafast like we couldn’t before.”
