Photon science, a spin-off of particle physics, has returned to its roots for help developing better, faster detectors.

Step on a scale and you’ll get a quick measure of your weight. Weighing galaxy clusters, groups of hundreds or thousands of galaxies bound together by gravity, isn’t so easy. But scientists have many ways to do it.

SLAC scientists have developed a new way to manufacture nanostructures, including precise focusing devices for X-rays.

Scientists from two experiments have banded together to create a single comprehensive record of their work for scientific posterity.

Tucked in a small laboratory at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, a team of scientists from the Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Sciences (SIMES) is making and testing new types of lithium-ion batteries. Their goal: create a battery five times better than the ones we use today.

Detecting new physics isn’t quite like detecting cat videos—yet.

Scientists have found a way to estimate uncertainties in computer calculations that are widely used to speed the search for new materials for industry, electronics, energy, drug design and a host of other applications.

Two years after the groundbreaking discovery of the Higgs boson, physicists are still hard at work.

At UXSS, 90 graduate students and postdocs from all over the world got a crash course in how to do research at X-ray lasers such as LCLS.
