For five days in May, the ancient collided with the ultra-modern at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), bringing brilliant, long-hidden ideas to light...

They saw how the material finds a path to contorting and flexing to avoid being irreversibly crushed.

The award celebrates Huang’s achievements studying atom-scale physics with fast X-ray pulses.

Tiny microbes and molecular machines have an outsized impact on human health, and they play key roles in the vast global cycles that shape climate and make carbon and nitrogen available to all living things. SLAC biology advances our understanding...

The technology could save the lives of COVID-19 patients when more advanced ventilators are too expensive or not available.

One-quintillionth of a second lasing breakthrough could lead to next-generation X-ray technologies, improving imaging in medical, material, and quantum science.

He was honored for his work in ultrafast physics.

Laser-driven break up of "buckyballs" is recorded in real-time by X-ray imaging at LCLS. 

Researchers at SLAC are developing experimental techniques to evaluate new candidates for inertial fusion energy targets.
