Synchrotrons played a key role in the research that won Brian Kobilka, a professor and chair of Molecular and Cellular Physiology at the Stanford School of Medicine, the 2012 Nobel Prize in chemistry on Wednesday.

A half-sized Fermi space telescope model, originally launched from SLAC's booth at the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis, last year in New Orleans, has settled into a new orbit above the downstairs foyer at the...

One of SLAC’s newest faculty members, Soichi Wakatsuki, says it was not any one thing that drew him here to help build and lead the lab’s biosciences program.

In experiments at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, scientists observed a surprisingly dense form of water that remained liquid well beyond its typical freezing point.

The synchrotron light source community is a large one – about 70 facilities exist around the world – but the men and women who run them are like an extended family.

Scientists from SLAC and Stanford have used finely tuned X-rays at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) to pin down the source of a mysterious magnetism that appears when two materials are sandwiched together.

SLAC theorist Stan Brodsky and his collaborator Xing-Gang Wu of Chongqing University have just made the lives

Last week the SLAC-built Radiometric All Sky Infrared Camera, or RASICAM, passed its final acceptance test before being partially disassembled, crated up and shipped off to Arizona.

Menlo Park, Calif. — The first controlled studies of extremely hot, dense matter have overthrown the widely accepted 50-year-old model used to explain how ions influence each other’s behavior in a dense plasma.

About 50 new aerial photos of SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have been added to the lab’s Flickr photostream.

Three SLAC scientists will receive Early Career Research Program grants from the U.S. Department of Energy for research to boost the peak power of X-ray laser pulses, model catalytic chemical reactions and build better simulations of particle collisions at CERN's...

Researchers from two SLAC-Stanford joint institutes, the Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Sciences (SIMES) and the SUNCAT Center for Interface Science and Catalysis, recently joined forces to investigate a catalyst that promotes energy-releasing reactions in fuel cells.
