With up to a million X-ray flashes per second, 8,000 times more than its predecessor, it transforms the ability of scientists to explore atomic-scale, ultrafast phenomena that are key to a broad range of applications, from quantum materials to clean...

Analyzing X-ray movies with computer vision reveals how nanoparticles in a lithium-ion battery electrode work.

X-ray laser studies help researchers identify early steps in the freezing process to better understand how clouds make ice and their effect on climate.

Leora Dresselhaus-Marais, Claudio Emma,  Bernhard Mistlberger and Johanna Nelson Weker will pursue cutting-edge research into decarbonizing steel production, theoretical physics, generating more intense particle beams, and improving X-ray microscopes.

Researchers demonstrate a way to remove the potent greenhouse gas from the exhaust of engines that burn natural gas.  

It irons out wrinkles in thin films of these novel superconductors so scientists can see their true nature for the first time. 

Batteries come in many shapes and sizes, but their materials can be hard to source. SLAC researchers are trying to build them with more abundant and ethical elements.

The results should further our understanding of similar reactions with vital roles in chemistry, such as the production of vitamin D in our bodies.

The results offer important implications for astrophysics and nuclear fusion research.

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

New SLAC-Stanford Battery Center bridges the gaps between discovering, manufacturing and deploying innovative energy storage solutions.
