The cryogenic plant responsible for keeping LCLS-II’s superconducting linear accelerator at just a few degrees above absolute zero recently received its first warm helium compressors.

In October, SLAC installed the first of LCLS-II’s cryogenic “feed caps” and “end caps.”

Remarkable cryo-EM images that reveal details down to the individual atom will yield new insights into why high-energy batteries fail.
