The annual conference for scientists who conduct research at SLAC’s light sources engaged about 470 researchers in talks, workshops and discussions.

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

The 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time has officially started, marking the beginning of a new era in astronomy and astrophysics.

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.

Over the past few years, Kathleen Ratcliffe and Tien Fak Tan have worked together to help build the superconducting accelerator that will drive new...

More than 300 gathered for a day-long symposium to celebrate the history and future of the pioneering X-ray laser.

The new technology could allow next-generation instruments to explore the atomic world in ever more detail.

During a recent shutdown, engineers installed new beamline technology and a 3-D virtual tour captured rare views of the synchrotron’s interior.

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...
