The 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time has officially started, marking the beginning of a new era in astronomy and astrophysics.

Using the powerful LCLS X-ray laser, researchers at SLAC have directly imaged for the first time how molecules rearrange during a chemical reaction controlled by light.

The lab’s contributions to the national AI initiative are bolstered by its breakthrough scientific tools, unprecedented data and unique partnerships that help illuminate nature from the expansion of the universe to the motions of electrons.

The bioengineering professor will guide the university’s partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory.

As QuantISED enters its next phase in its effort to develop quantum technologies capable of exploring some of the universe’s biggest unanswered questions, scientists reflect on what the first round made possible and what comes next.

By adjusting the heating process when making lithium-ion cathodes, the team created batteries that retained nearly 93% of their energy after 500 cycles. 

The lab sent its final contribution to SLAC for the high-energy upgrade of the superconducting accelerator of the LCLS X-ray laser.

Their strategy revealed new details that open the door to designing proteins with powerful abilities that could ultimately benefit medicine and manufacturing. 

The long-time collaborator of SLAC joins the list that recognizes the impact, innovation and achievement of the world’s most influential individuals.

The X-ray Pump Probe instrument is returning to normal operations this spring, anticipating a major capability boost when the high-energy beam comes online.
