SLAC and Stanford Open One of World's Most Advanced Facilities for Cryo-EM

A laser compressing an aluminum crystal provides a clearer view of a material’s plastic deformation, potentially leading to the design of stronger nuclear fusion...

The ePix series of detectors is designed to keep pace with ever more demanding experiments at SLAC and elsewhere.

Teaching machine learning the basics of accelerator physics is particularly useful in situations where actual data don’t exist.

It can help operators optimize the performance of X-ray lasers, electron microscopes, medical accelerators and other devices that depend on high-quality beams.

It combines human knowledge and expertise with the speed and efficiency of “smart” computer algorithms.

A new understanding of the nucleation process could shed light on how the shells help microbes interact with their environments, and help people design...
