With SLAC’s X-ray laser, a research team captured ultrafast changes in fluorescent proteins between “dark” and “light” states. The insights allowed the scientists to...

The X-ray studies performed at SLAC will help the oil industry improve guidelines for corrosion from sulfur in crude oil.

This novel method could shrink the equipment needed to make laser pulses billionths of a billionth of a second long for studying ultra-speedy electron...

The early career award from SLAC’s X-ray laser recognizes Kjaer’s work in ultrafast X-ray science.

A new device could open new avenues for the generation of high-frequency radiation with applications in science, radar, communications, security and medical imaging.

Instead of searching for dark matter particles, a new device will search for dark matter waves.

The X-ray scientist is honored for 20 years of beamline and instrumentation design, operation and scientific support at SLAC’s synchrotron.

System tests at SLAC continue with 32 light sensors - up from a single one - in a small-scale version of the future experiment...

Lithium ion batteries may remain tops for sheer performance, but when cost-per-storage is factored in, a design based on sodium ions offers promise; research...

Constellations illustrates the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics—with a love story.

About 400 people attended the annual conference and workshops for scientists who conduct experiments at SLAC’s light sources.

The Advanced LIGO gravitational wave detectors have announced their first observation of a binary neutron star coalescence.
