Scientists uncovered new information about the photoelectric effect, a phenomenon first described by Einstein over a century ago.

SLAC’s newly upgraded Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) successfully produced its first X-rays, creating unparalleled capabilities that will usher in a new era in research.

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