The latest results combined weak lensing and galaxy clustering and incorporated four dark energy probes from a single experiment for the first time.

Imaging at SLAC's synchrotron demonstrates the twisted structures’ exotic properties that could benefit the development of superconductors and quantum materials.

SLAC scientists develop an approach to better guide the preparation of cell slices for cryogenic-electron tomography imaging.

Researchers find evidence of coexisting atomic stacking patterns in superionic water. 

First peer-reviewed paper using data from SLAC-built LSST Camera identifies an asteroid, nearly the size of eight football fields, rotating every two minutes.

Surfing a plasma wave, electrons get an energy and brightness boost.

With a new method that could be extended to study Earth’s core and nuclear fusion, they identify and explain jumps in the electrical conductivity of aluminum under extreme conditions. 

NLCTA staff helped undergraduates from Harvey Mudd College use the facility’s electron beam to test a detector they designed. 

Water is all around us, yet its surface layer is surprisingly hard to study. Experiments at SLAC’s X-ray laser are bringing it into focus.

Experiments running at these higher pulse rates will allow scientists to capture ultrafast processes with greater precision, collect data more efficiently and explore phenomena that were previously out of reach.
