The role focuses on identifying and realizing opportunities and strengthening the coordination and execution of science and technology initiatives.

Using the largest digital camera in the world, Rubin Observatory will soon be ready to capture more data than any other observatory in history.

Researchers positioned lasers to compress billions of electrons together, creating a beam five times more powerful than before.

Supported by SLAC’s catalysis group, researchers have discovered a promising method to remove contaminants during the making of polymers.

SSRL scientists have figured out how platinum electrodes dissolve, potentially paving the way for renewable energy improvements.

As a member of a collaborative team led by General Atomics, SLAC will help bridge basic research programs with the growing fusion industry. 

This is the first measurement of its kind and will enable researchers to evaluate electron dynamics in a new range of super-small particles,  valued  for their ability to trap and manipulate light. 

Scientists studying laser-plasma proton acceleration made an unexpected breakthrough, simultaneously resolving multiple long-standing problems although they had only aimed to address one. 

The research lays the groundwork for deeper exploration of high-temperature superconducting materials, with real-world applications such as lossless power grids and advanced quantum technologies.

Rubin Observatory’s rapid scanning of the night sky will capture the largest sample of Type Ia supernovae yet, unlocking new insights into dark energy.
