Christopher J. Tassone, PhD provides an overview of the research that SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory performed as part of the Bio-Optimized Technologies to keep Thermoplastics out of Landfills and the Environment (BOTTLETM) consortium.
Scientists have developed an AI-based method that helps gather data more efficiently in the search for new materials, allowing researchers to navigate complex design challenges with greater precision and speed.
Scientists demonstrated a materials characterization technique can be successful at a new type of facility, and they used it at LCLS to discover a hidden materials phase.
After more than a decade, LCLS was upgraded to generate even more powerful X-ray laser beams. With the LCLS-II upgrade, LCLS is around 10,000 times brighter and fires about 8,000 times faster. It generates up to one million pulses per...
With their ability to penetrate matter and resolve individual atoms, X-rays and electrons are among scientists’ most useful tools for determining the structure and behavior of molecules and materials.
