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

Honored for early theoretical predictions that helped elucidate the nature of the strong force and the structure of the proton, he is still shaking things up today.

The Large Hadron Collider gears up for restart.

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

Jens Nørskov, director of the SUNCAT Center for Interface Science and Catalysis at Stanford and SLAC, has been named a member of the National Academy of Engineering, one of the highest professional distinctions for engineers.

A video campaign shows international support for construction of the International Linear Collider.

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

A previous study claiming the discovery of gravitational waves as cosmic inflation’s fingerprint has most likely been over-interpreted, scientists found in a joint analysis between the Planck and BICEP2 experiments.

He’s known for exploring fundamental properties of novel materials on the nanoscale, and for developing new tools for the exploration.

Scientist Helen Quinn has had a significant impact on the field of theoretical physics.

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.
