Two decades ago, Stanford and SLAC took a gamble on an unproven telescope design. Now it's on the verge of paying off.

On Monday, scientists and engineers reacted to the first images from the NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory, marking a historic milestone.

Now 10,000 times brighter and thousands of times faster, LCLS sheds light on the formation of free radicals in nature. 

New 3D, interactive visualization of planets and minor planets in our solar system lets you explore Rubin discoveries in real time.

Researchers used the upgraded LCLS to better understand what makes Xanthone – a powerful photocatalyst used in cancer therapies –  so efficient.  

Results obtained with SLAC’s X-ray laser show how tiny magnetic coils can align over a surprisingly broad timescale, inspiring new ideas for microelectronics. 

The team unexpectedly formed gold hydride in an experiment that could pave the way for studying materials under extreme conditions like those found inside...

These observations are a crucial step toward truly understanding chemical processes.

The technique could improve how scientists study materials and drive advancements in high-performance technologies, such as next-generation computer chips.
