An animation shows how an infrared laser beam (orange) triggers atomic vibrations in a thin layer of iron selenide, which are then recorded by...


X-ray laser pulses probe water droplets like these to discover water’s hidden (and sometimes bizarre) properties.

Studies of atomic-level processes that drain battery life and efficiency help improve battery performance.

Ultra-bright X-ray laser pulses can be used to strip electrons away from atoms, creating ions with strong charges.

At LCLS, crystallized ribosomes travel through a capillary into the interaction region, where they are zapped with a beam of X-rays.

Researchers used SLAC’s ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) as an electron camera to take snapshots of a three-atom-thick layer of a promising material as it...

Researchers made the first microscopic movies of liquids getting vaporized by SLAC’s X-ray free-electron laser LCLS.


Matter in Extreme Conditions (MEC) Hutch 6, located in the LCLS Far Experimental Hall.
