A new way to observe this deformation as it happens can help study a wide range of phenomena, from meteor impacts to high-performance ceramics...

The prestigious award recognizes her seminal contributions to particle physics.

Clothing made from a reversible fabric, developed in part by SIMES researchers, could warm or cool wearers and keep them comfortable, bringing down buildings’...

Research with SLAC’s X-ray laser simulates what happens when a meteor hits Earth’s crust. The results suggest that scientists studying impact sites have been...

21 of these "science rafts" will go into the world's largest digital camera for astronomy, which is being assembled and tested at SLAC.

Successful physics collaborations rely on cooperation between people from many different disciplines.

In experiments with the lab’s ultrafast "electron camera," laser light hitting a material is almost completely converted into nuclear vibrations, which are key to...

In the Large Hadron Collider, protons become new particles, which become energy and light, which become data.

These stripes of electron spin and charge are exciting because of their possible link to a phenomenon that could transform society by making electrical...

Biochemical 'action shots' with SLAC’s X-ray laser could help scientists develop synthetic enzymes for medicine and answer fundamental questions about how enzymes change during...

They created a comprehensive picture of how the same chemical processes that give these cathodes their high capacity are also linked to changes in...

Innovations at SLAC, including the world’s shortest X-ray flashes, ultra-high-speed pulse trains and smart computer controls, promise to take ultrafast X-ray science to a...
