Two GEM Fellows reflect on their summer internships at SLAC and share their thoughts on representation and mentorship.

The Stanford Board of Trustees held its first meeting of the 2022-23 academic year Oct. 17-18. Trustees toured the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and met the new dean of the Doerr School of Sustainability, among other matters.

Once built, the system could produce fast X-ray pulses ten times more powerful than ever before.

Areas of research: Advanced accelerators; plasma wakefield acceleration

Areas of research: X-ray and ultrafast science; Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS); LCLS-II; molecular movies; chemical sciences; chemical dynamics; X-ray imaging; ultrafast electron diffraction (UED)

SLAC staff gather in the accelerator control room to celebrate first light produced by the LCLS-II project’s pioneering superconducting accelerator.

The original LCLS undulator system was removed and replaced with two totally new systems that offer dramatic new capabilities.

SSRL's X-ray tools reveal that alcohol groups on a nanodiamond's surface allow one of the world's most valuable materials to bond with one of its most abundant.

Purple layers surround angular red chunks. These are struck by gold rays, which release white spheres from the purple and red objects.

Garcia-Esparza’s research offers unique insights into catalysts relevant to renewable energy generation and emerging materials for microelectronics.

It irons out wrinkles in thin films of these novel superconductors so scientists can see their true nature for the first time.
