After decades of effort, scientists have finally seen the process by which nature creates the oxygen we breathe using SLAC’s X-ray laser.

Researchers used cryo-EM (left) to discover how a chamber in human cells (right) directs protein folding. 

His work has led to new treatments for advanced lung cancer and a better understanding of dangerous parasites.

The protein could play a key role in soil carbon cycling and soil decomposition.

Fan’s X-ray crystallography work at SLAC’s synchrotron moves us closer to a more protective coronavirus vaccine and a better understanding of how vital materials flow in and out of cells.

Powerful X-rays from SLAC’s synchrotron reveal that our immune system’s primary wiring seems to be no match for a brutal SARS-CoV-2 protein.
