Can the same type of technology Facebook uses to recognize faces also recognize particles?

After 30 years in industry, he is leading a new focus at the lab’s SSRL X-ray light source and looking for ways to build on research strengths at SLAC and Stanford.

Squeezing a platinum catalyst a fraction of a nanometer nearly doubles its catalytic activity, a finding that could lead to better fuel cells and other clean energy technologies.

Paleontologist Phil Manning describes the “Imaging Life on Earth” project at TEDxCharleston.

New X-ray methods have captured the highest resolution room-temperature images of photosystem II.

SLAC experiments demonstrate a new way to access valence electrons, which are important in forming chemical bonds and determine many of a material’s properties.

Four physicists discuss Higgs boson research since the discovery.

Physicists and scientific computing experts prepare for an onslaught of petabytes.

Scientists used SLAC's LCLS X-ray laser to make the first snapshots of a chemical interaction between two biomolecules. It changes the shape of millions of molecular switches almost instantaneously, like synchronized swimmers performing the same move.

The team determined the 3-D structure of a biomolecule by tagging it with selenium atoms and taking hundreds of thousands of images.
