As a member of a collaborative team led by General Atomics, SLAC will help bridge basic research programs with the growing fusion industry. 

The first measurement of its kind   will enable researchers to evaluate electron dynamics in a new range of super-small particles. 

Scientists studying laser-plasma proton acceleration made an unexpected breakthrough, simultaneously resolving multiple long-standing problems although they had only aimed to address one. 

This research advances our understanding of Earth's deep interior and exoplanets, opening new research avenues in Earth and planetary sciences.

An X-ray imaging technique revealed that copper nanofoams used in inertial fusion experiments aren't as uniform as expected.

Researchers have uncovered new insights about tungsten's ability to conduct heat, which could lead to materials advancements for fusion reactor and aerospace technologies.

Following the NIF ignition demonstrations, the prospect of developing a fusion energy source using lasers looks brighter than ever. 

The research could lead to a better understanding of how metals behave under extreme conditions, which will aid in the development of more resilient materials. 

A new experiment suggests that this exotic precipitation forms at even lower pressures and temperatures than previously thought and could influence the unusual magnetic fields of Neptune and Uranus.

SLAC will partner in two collaborations that aim to speed up progress in fusion energy science and technology.

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

They saw how the material finds a path to contorting and flexing to avoid being irreversibly crushed.
