Just because matter is visible doesn’t mean it’s easy to see.

Chemical reactions often involve intermediate steps that are too fast and complex for us to see  – even using our most advanced scientific instruments. Combining two X-ray spectroscopy techniques has now been shown to change that.

After decades of effort, scientists have finally seen the process by which nature creates the oxygen we breathe using SLAC’s X-ray laser.

The algorithm pairs machine-learning techniques with classical beam physics equations to avoid massive data crunching.

The ATLAS experiment measured more than expected of a trio of particles in the aftermath of proton collisions. The results will refine physicists’ understanding of our universe at the subatomic level.

New SLAC-Stanford Battery Center bridges the gaps between discovering, manufacturing and deploying innovative energy storage solutions. 

The SLAC-Stanford team pulled hydrogen directly from ocean waters. Their work could help efforts to generate low-carbon fuel for electric grids, cars, boats and other infrastructure.

An astronomy festival will mark the milestone.

A new study probing the structure and evolution of galaxy clusters shows good agreement with the predictions of standard cosmological models. 

A molecule with hooks that can grip and disable the virus’s pesky protease shows potential for fighting infection.
