The data acquisition system for the NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory LSST Camera starts right at the back of the focal plane, a composite of 189 digital sensors used to take night-sky images, plus several more used to line up...
An example for technology transfer at SLAC: Expertise in creating powerful particle beams for giant particle accelerators that advance our fundamental understanding of matter (left) stimulates the development of new approaches in cancer radiation therapy (right).
An illustration of 1D copper oxide, or cuprate, chains that have been “doped” to free up some of their electrons in a study led by researchers at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford and Clemson universities. Copper atoms are black...
A battery's liquid electrolyte clings to small holes in a cryo-EM sample holder. The electrolyte will be fast-frozen into a glassy state to preserve its contents for study with the cryo-EM electron beam.
