Powerful X-rays generated at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory help researchers shed new light on feather evolution.

The finding could help future efforts to design superconductors that work at higher temperatures.

Scientists inside and outside of particle physics and astrophysics are leaning on AI for assistance with complex tasks.

Leora Dresselhaus-Marais, Claudio Emma,  Bernhard Mistlberger and Johanna Nelson Weker will pursue cutting-edge research into decarbonizing steel production, theoretical physics, generating more intense particle beams, and improving X-ray microscopes.

The facility is now one step away from releasing an unprecedented stream of ultra-bright X-rays.

Batteries come in many shapes and sizes, but their materials can be hard to source. SLAC researchers are trying to build them with more abundant and ethical elements.

Sebek’s extraordinary career at SSRL includes helping build the facility’s original electron injector back in the 1980s and working on almost all of its electrical systems since.

The long – but not too long – cavity would ping-pong X-ray pulses inside of a particle accelerator facility to help capture nature’s fastest movements.

The discovery will help art conservators develop new preservation techniques.

Chemical reactions often involve intermediate steps that are too fast and complex for us to see  – even using our most advanced scientific instruments. Combining two X-ray spectroscopy techniques has now been shown to change that.

They aim to help society respond ten times faster with treatments for future disease outbreaks.

The algorithm pairs machine-learning techniques with classical beam physics equations to avoid massive data crunching.
