In the decade since LCLS produced its first light, it has pushed boundaries in countless areas of discovery.

Ultrafast manipulation of material properties with light could stimulate the development of novel electronics, including quantum computers.

SLAC and Stanford researchers secure support for two projects that share one goal: to reduce the side effects of radiation therapy by vastly shrinking the length of a typical session.

A team of electrical designers develops specialized microchips for a broad range of scientific applications, including X-ray science and particle physics.

SLAC and Stanford researchers are developing a device that combines electrical brain stimulation with EEG recording, opening potential new paths for treating neurological disorders.

The SuperCDMS SNOLAB project, a multi-institutional effort led by SLAC, is expanding the hunt for dark matter to particles with properties not accessible to any other experiment.

The 40-foot-long segment of the new superconducting accelerator arrived on January 19, 2018 after a cross-country trip from Fermilab.

SLAC engineer Knut Skarpaas designs some of physics’ most challenging machines, finding inspiration in unexpected places.

He is recognized for his numerous contributions to the advancement of accelerator physics, community service and education.

A new device could open new avenues for the generation of high-frequency radiation with applications in science, radar, communications, security and medical imaging.

More than 100 students worked on projects ranging from website development to imaging techniques for X-ray studies, learning new ways to apply their talents.

Tripling the energy and refining the shape of optical laser pulses at LCLS’s Matter in Extreme Conditions instrument allows researchers to recreate higher-pressure conditions and explore unsolved questions relevant to fusion energy, plasma physics and materials science.
