A NASA rocket experiment could use the Doppler effect to look for signs of dark matter in mysterious X-ray emissions from space.

With SLAC’s X-ray laser and synchrotron, scientists measured exactly how much energy goes into keeping this crucial bond from triggering a cell's death spiral.

A new X-ray laser technique allows scientists to home in on these single-electron triggers to better understand organic molecules that respond to light, including...

Universities in sub-Saharan Africa are teaming up to offer free training to students interested in fundamental physics.

An international team of researchers fabricated an atomically thin material and measured its exotic and durable properties that make it a promising candidate for...
