A small team of researchers has used the brilliant X-rays of the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory to pin down the crystalline structure of an enzyme complex that scientists had spent nearly a decade trying to resolve.
In celebration of Women’s History Month, the Department of Energy recently launched a new feature, Women @ Energy, which showcases DOE employees who work in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
Menlo Park, Calif. — If we could make plant food from nitrogen the way nature does, we’d have a much greener method for manufacturing fertilizer – a process that requires such high temperatures and pressures that it consumes about 1.5...
It sounds like something out of a cheesy science fiction movie, but thanks to new research led by Yi Cui, a professor of photon science at SLAC, transparent cell phones are one step closer to becoming a reality.
Jens Nørskov, director of SLAC's SUNCAT Center for Interface Science and Catalysis, has received the G.A. Hagemann Gold Medal for engineering scientific research from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU).
Any nanometer-sized sample exposed to the intense X-ray pulses of SLAC’s Linac Coherent Light Source is quickly ionized – stripped of electrons – and soon explodes.
A tiny device invented at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory will make it much easier for scientists to determine the structures of important, delicate proteins by greatly reducing the amount of protein needed for study.
The X-Ray Pump Probe instrument, uses an optical laser to "pump," or excite a sample with photons of light, thereby triggering some sort of physical transformation.
