These inexpensive photosensitizers could make solar power and chemical manufacturing more efficient. Experiments at SLAC offer insight into how they work.

Linear Accelerator Generates First Positron Beams Since 2008

Installation of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument begins at Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona.

A ‘nonlinear’ phenomenon that seemingly turns materials transparent is seen for the first time in X-rays at SLAC’s Linac Coherent Light Source.

The goal of the DuraMat consortium is to make solar modules last longer, and thus drive down the cost of solar energy.

Scientists have engineered a cheap, abundant alternative to the expensive platinum catalyst and coupled it with a light-absorbing electrode to make hydrogen fuel from...

Scientists get dramatically better resolution at X-ray free-electron lasers with a new technique.

The results, which show that ultrafast atomic motions are the first step in forming a magnetic state, could lead to faster and more efficient...

Light-driven reactions are at the heart of human vision, photosynthesis and solar power generation. Seeing the very first step opens the door to observing...

An LCLS imaging technique reveals how a mosquito-borne bacterium deploys a toxin to kill mosquito larvae. Scientists hope to harness it to fight disease.
