The facility is now one step away from releasing an unprecedented stream of ultra-bright X-rays.

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.

Four engineers discuss their journeys to working at SLAC and counsel those following in their footsteps.

The first cryomodule has arrived at SLAC. Linked together and chilled to nearly absolute zero, 37 of these segments will accelerate electrons to almost the speed of light and power an upgrade to the nation’s only X-ray free-electron laser facility.

SLAC completed its work on ComCam, a commissioning device to be installed in Chile later this year.

They used SLAC’s ultrafast X-ray laser to follow the impact of a single electron moving within a molecule during an entire chemical reaction.

The camera will explore cosmic mysteries as part of the Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time.

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.
