Public lecture presented by Joshua Turner

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. 

The SLAC team is developing digital twins – powered by AI and high-performance computing – to help quickly shape high-quality particle beams for the...

A new machine learning algorithm rapidly reconstructs 3D images from X-ray data. 

An upgrade to SLAC’s renowned Linac Coherent Light Source will allow it to deliver X-ray laser beams that are 10,000 times brighter with pulses that arrive up to a million times per second.

Experiments running at these higher pulse rates will allow scientists to capture ultrafast processes with greater precision, collect data more efficiently and explore phenomena...

Researchers taking the first-ever direct measurement of atom temperature in extremely hot materials inadvertently disproved a decades-old theory and upended our understanding of superheating. 

Water is all around us, yet its surface layer is surprisingly hard to study. Experiments at SLAC’s X-ray laser are bringing it into focus.
