The U.S. Department of Energy has granted approval for SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory—home of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), the world's first hard...

Persis Drell and Steven Kivelson have been elected to the National Academy of Sciences, joining 70 other new members and 18 foreign associates in...

A new form of platinum that could be used to make cheaper, more efficient fuel cells has been created by researchers at the Department...

Desktop experiments could point the way to dark matter discovery, complementing grand astronomical searches and deep underground observations.

NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory is about to embark on its quest to capture the cosmos, marking the culmination of decades of work by...

With a suite of reimagined instruments, researchers take up scientific inquiries that were out of reach just one year ago. 

Ultrafast electrons at SLAC’s LCLS facility resolved the structural changes in a light-activated molecule to determine which simulations work best. 

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.

X-rays unveil new molecular structure details that will help researchers design novel drug therapies to address antibiotic resistant bacteria.

With survey operations set to begin this fall, the Rubin control room at SLAC will serve as a key hub for training and remote...
