Christopher J. Tassone, PhD provides an overview of the research that SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory performed as part of the Bio-Optimized Technologies to keep Thermoplastics out of Landfills and the Environment (BOTTLETM) consortium.

Margaux Lopez is the logistics lead for shipping the LSST Camera to Chile. The world's largest digital camera, crafted at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California, has arrived at Rubin Observatory in Chile after an intricate journey along the west...

Hannah Pollek, a SLAC mechanical engineer, gives us an inside look at how the LSST camera will photograph the southern night sky once it gets installed at Rubin Observatory.

Scientists have developed an AI-based method that helps gather data more efficiently in the search for new materials, allowing researchers to navigate complex design challenges with greater precision and speed.

LCLS-II’s Eric Fauve explains how the team cools the accelerator to 2 kelvins.
