The discovery will help art conservators develop new preservation techniques.

Chemical reactions often involve intermediate steps that are too fast and complex for us to see  – even using our most advanced scientific instruments. Combining two X-ray spectroscopy techniques has now been shown to change that.

They aim to help society respond ten times faster with treatments for future disease outbreaks.

After almost two decades of synchrotron experiments, Caltech scientists have captured a clear picture of a cell’s nuclear pores, which are the doors and windows through which critical material in your body flows in and out of the cell’s nucleus...

Powerful X-rays from SLAC’s synchrotron reveal that our immune system’s primary wiring seems to be no match for a brutal SARS-CoV-2 protein.

A molecule with hooks that can grip and disable the virus’s pesky protease shows potential for fighting infection.

The protein could play a key role in soil carbon cycling and soil decomposition.

SLAC researcher Sadasivan Shankar talks about a new environmental effort starting at the lab – building a roadmap that will help researchers improve the energy efficiency of computing, from devices like cellphones to artificial intelligence.

His work has led to new treatments for advanced lung cancer and a better understanding of dangerous parasites.

Fan’s X-ray crystallography work at SLAC’s synchrotron moves us closer to a more protective coronavirus vaccine and a better understanding of how vital materials flow in and out of cells.

SLAC is leading an effort to build a network that will enable AI and machine learning to steer experiments and more.

The SLAC professor was elected to the American Physical Society in recognition of his research on ultrafast X-ray methods.
