SLAC scientists have found a new way to produce bright pulses of light from accelerated electrons that could shrink "light source" technology used around the world since the 1970s to examine details of atoms and chemical reactions.

Even in their infancy, X-ray lasers such as SLAC's Linac Coherent Light Source are notching a list of important discoveries, and a special issue of a scientific journal highlights their unique contributions to biological sciences.

Scientists at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have made the first structural observations of liquid water at temperatures down to minus 51 degrees Fahrenheit, within an elusive “no man’s land” where water’s strange properties are super-amplified.

A sense of adventure and intellectual rigor led PULSE chemistry professor Kelly Gaffney to a successful career in science.

Students estimate their way through pop culture problems to learn a life skill.

SLAC Research Reveals Rapid DNA Changes that Act as Molecular Sunscreen

A new result from the Large Hadron Collider strengthens the case that the Higgs interacts with both types of particles in the Standard Model.

The Open Science Grid enables faster, more efficient analysis of LHC data—and also contributes to advancements in fields from geology to medicine.

The 30-ton MicroBooNE detector, the cornerstone of Fermilab’s short-baseline neutrino program, will see neutrinos this year.

Exploding Soccer Ball-shaped Molecules Will Help Biological Studies

Efforts are already underway to ensure that the data the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope  collects will be ready to be mined for scientific gold.
