The strength, flexibility, transparency and high electrical conductivity of single-layer graphene make it a potentially unique and valuable material for the next generation of electronic devices.

The Linac Coherent Light Source at SLAC is the world’s first hard X-ray free-electron laser, or FEL, and one of the most complex light sources ever developed.

Scientists from the Joint Center for Structural Genomics (JCSG) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have determined the 3-D structure of the chemically active part of an enzyme involved in stuttering.

A new SLAC test facility has passed two important milestones and is gearing up for experiments aimed at dramatically shrinking the size and cost of future particle accelerators.

Its creators saw it as a great way to share information among the world’s widespread particle physics community.

An international team of scientists with roots at SLAC and Stanford has shown that ultra-thin sheets of an exotic material remain transparent and highly conductive even after being deeply flexed 1,000 times and folded and creased like a piece of...

The world's first X-ray laser is not only a true laser, but it’s an extremely good one

In a home-grown version of a TED talk – famous for presenting “Ideas Worth Spreading” in exactly 18 minutes – SLAC’s Uwe Bergmann took an audience at Palo Alto’s Gunn High School on a wild ride through the Linac Coherent...

William Atwood, a leading member of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope collaboration, will receive the 2012 W. K. H. Panofsky Prize in Experimental Particle Physics from the American Physical Society for his work as co-designer of the Large Area Telescope...
