For mechanical engineer Sarah Edwards, SSRL is the ultimate classic car.

Its electron beams will drive the generation of up to a million ultrabright X-ray flashes per second.

What they learned could help manufacturers design more reliable and longer-lasting batteries for smartphones and cars.

Building the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope also means solving extraordinary technological challenges.

Experiments at SLAC’s X-ray laser reveal in atomic detail how two distinct liquid phases in these materials enable fast switching between glassy and crystalline states that represent 0s and 1s in memory devices.

Physicist Tor Raubenheimer explores the world by climbing rocks and designing particle accelerators.

A close-up look at how microbes build their crystalline shells has implications for understanding how cell structures form, preventing disease and developing nanotechnology.

Four large meshes made from 2 miles of metal wire will extract potential signals of dark matter particles.

A new twist on cryo-EM imaging reveals what’s going on inside MOFs, highly porous nanoparticles with big potential for storing fuel, separating gases and removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Particle accelerators are some of the most complicated machines in science.

Combined with the lab’s LCLS X-ray laser, it’ll provide unprecedented atomic views of some of nature’s speediest processes.
