Researchers will use SLAC’s X-ray light source to probe 150-million-year-old dinosaur fossils at the atomic level.

SLAC researchers say their new method could make it easier to study interactions of ultrabright X-rays with matter

He helped lay the groundwork for SLAC’s LCLS X-ray laser and for the institute, which was founded to explore the science LCLS would enable.

Some theorists have taken to designing their own experiments to broaden the search for dark matter.

In the decade since LCLS produced its first light, it has pushed boundaries in countless areas of discovery.

The 4-inch-tall device could be used in portable transmitters for rescue missions and other challenging applications demanding high mobility.

First direct look at how atoms move when a ring-shaped molecule breaks apart could boost our understanding of fundamental processes of life.

In SLAC’s accelerator control room, shift lead Ben Ripman and a team of operators fine-tune X-ray beams for science experiments around the clock.

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

Scientists precisely control where single-atom catalysts sit on their support structures, and show how changing their position affects their reactivity.

A new method could be used to look at chemical reactions that other techniques can’t catch, for instance in catalysis, photovoltaics, peptide and combustion...

A better understanding of how these receptors work could enable scientists to design better therapeutics for sleep disorders, cancer and Type 2 diabetes.
