The Small Business Innovation Research Program brings government and private industry together to develop next-generation X-ray optics for LCLS-II.

The ePix series of detectors is designed to keep pace with ever more demanding experiments at SLAC and elsewhere.

Through her work with this nationwide program, Curry plans to make high-power laser facilities more accessible to researchers.

Exploring and manipulating the behavior of polar vortices in materials may lead to new technology for faster data transfer and storage.

The early-career award honors a promising leader in X-ray free-electron laser research.

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers recognizes his contributions to developing electron beams that power unique ‘electron cameras’ and could advance X-ray lasers.

It uses terahertz radiation to power a miniscule copper accelerator structure.

The ePix10k detector is ready to advance science at SLAC’s Linac Coherent Light Source X-ray laser and at facilities around the world.

Marking the beginning of the LCLS-II era, the first phase of the major upgrade comes online.

Learning how liquid silicates behave at these extreme temperatures and pressures has been a longstanding challenge in the geosciences.

The next revolutionary X-ray laser in a class of its own, LCLS-II, is under construction at SLAC, with support from four other DOE national laboratories.

At SLAC’s FACET facility, researchers have produced an intense electron beam by 'sneaking’ electrons into plasma, demonstrating a method that could be used in future compact discovery machines that explore the subatomic world.
