Presented by Franklin Fuller. Over billions of years, plants and cyanobacteria changed the Earth’s atmosphere by inhaling carbon dioxide, storing the carbon in solid...

The ePix series of detectors is designed to keep pace with ever more demanding experiments at SLAC and elsewhere.

Taking pictures of tiny, flash-frozen things with electrons is revolutionizing biology and technology. SLAC and Stanford host one of the world’s leading facilities for...

The X-rays they produce reveal the secrets of everything from ancient texts to modern pharmaceuticals.

Molecular movie-making is both an art and a science; the results let us watch how nature works on the smallest scales.

With a suite of reimagined instruments, researchers take up scientific inquiries that were out of reach just one year ago. 

Ultrafast electrons at SLAC’s LCLS facility resolved the structural changes in a light-activated molecule to determine which simulations work best. 

They used SLAC’s ultrafast X-ray laser to follow the impact of a single electron moving within a molecule during an entire chemical reaction.

X-rays unveil new molecular structure details that will help researchers design novel drug therapies to address antibiotic resistant bacteria.
