Now, we’re turning up the energy. The high-energy upgrade to LCLS will extend its ultrafast megahertz capability into the “hard,” or high-energy, X-ray regime.   

Researchers reveal why trace amounts of alloy added to some catalysts keep them performing better over time. The study suggests models that could boost...

By adjusting the heating process when making lithium-ion cathodes, the team created batteries that retained nearly 93% of their energy after 500 cycles. 

With up to a million X-ray flashes per second, 8,000 times more than its predecessor, it transforms the ability of scientists to explore atomic-scale...

Its electron beams will drive the generation of up to a million ultrabright X-ray flashes per second.

The facility is now one step away from releasing an unprecedented stream of ultra-bright X-rays.

The lab’s contributions to the national AI initiative are bolstered by its breakthrough scientific tools, unprecedented data and unique partnerships that help illuminate nature...

Four engineers discuss their journeys to working at SLAC and counsel those following in their footsteps.

The first cryomodule has arrived at SLAC. Linked together and chilled to nearly absolute zero, 37 of these segments will accelerate electrons to almost...

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.
