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.

Scientists worldwide who conduct research at SLAC’s light sources shine light on latest discoveries and innovations in talks, workshops and discussions.

David Cesar, Julia Gonski and W.L. Kimmy Wu will each receive $2.75 million issued over five years for their research in X-ray and ultrafast science, new physics and primordial gravitational waves.

During her fellowship she will continue research that aims to deepen our understanding of quantum materials.

The program was among those honored with a 2024 Stanford President’s Award for Excellence Through Diversity.

The award recognizes Driver’s contribution toward attosecond X-ray capabilities.

Together with two long-time collaborators, he is recognized for work that helps us understand the strong nuclear force.

The SIMES investigator was cited for his singular contributions to quantum materials science.

Nine faculty from Stanford and SLAC are among the 564 new Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Benjamin Lev, Srinivas Raghu and Monika Schleier-Smith were all recognized for their work on quantum physics.

Three physicists talk about how they got started, their work at SLAC and what they would say to others considering a career in STEM.
