True muonium, a long-theorized but never-seen atom, might be observed in future experiments, thanks to recent theoretical work by researchers at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Arizona State University.
The facility, LCLS-II, will soon sharpen our view of how nature works on ultrasmall, ultrafast scales, impacting everything from quantum devices to clean energy.
Now, we’re turning up the energy. The high-energy upgrade to LCLS will extend its ultrafast megahertz capability into the “hard,” or high-energy, X-ray regime.
As one of 17 Department of Energy national labs, SLAC pushes the frontiers of human knowledge and drives discoveries that benefit humankind. We invent the tools that make those discoveries possible and share them with scientists all over the world...
Researchers reveal why trace amounts of alloy added to some catalysts keep them performing better over time. The study suggests models that could boost manufacturing.
