Cryogenic electron microscopy showed for the first time that large RNA complexes can assemble without the help of proteins. 

The new findings highlight the need for ongoing monitoring of H5N1’s evolution in nature. 

Researchers found a protein that's essential for an enterovirus to enter human cells. That could help the search for vaccines and treatments.

AI is playing a key role in helping SLAC researchers find new galaxies and tiny neutrinos, and discover new drugs.

SLAC’s SSRL helps pin down key players in the microbial production of methylmercury, a poison that can accumulate in fish.

An associate scientist at SSRL, Richardson studies plant growth to find ways to enhance nutrient uptake in plants, especially in challenging conditions – such as higher temperatures, drought, and intense precipitation events – brought about by climate change.

For nearly 50 years, Hodgson has illuminated the synchrotron radiation community through his pioneering research, innovations, leadership, advocacy and mentorship at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource.

Alimohamadi is being recognized for her novel integration of theoretical and experimental results to connect diverse health outcomes with cell membrane behavior.

The results, which show how the protein adds nucleotides to the growing RNA chain, could lead to more effective medications.

Wheat and other sources of gluten can spell trouble for people with the disease, but new findings could aid the development of first-ever drugs for the autoimmune disorder.
