Research at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory demonstrates that ultrashort, ultrabright X-ray laser pulses can reveal details of chemically important molecules at room temperature and...

The SLAC scientists will each receive $2.5 million for their research on fusion energy and advanced radiofrequency technology.

A SLAC study observed silica's shockingly fast transformation into a highly compressed form found in meteor craters.

Learning how liquid silicates behave at these extreme temperatures and pressures has been a longstanding challenge in the geosciences.

Researchers developed a way to measure the basic properties of matter at the highest pressures thus far achieved in a controlled laboratory experiment.

The liquid sheets – less than 100 water molecules thick – will let researchers probe chemical, physical and biological processes, and even the nature...

A SLAC experiment has provided the first detailed look at the creation of an exotic superhot, compressed concoction known as "warm dense matter" –...

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

Researchers used a unique approach to learn more about what happens to silicon under intense pressure.

SLAC's Siegfried Glenzer has been selected to receive an Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award, presented by the U.S. Secretary of Energy to honor scientists across...

Researchers mimicked these extreme impacts in the lab and discovered new details about how they transform minerals in Earth’s crust.

Computer simulations and lab experiments help researchers understand the violent universe and could potentially lead to new technologies that benefit humankind.
