Lasers

Ryan Coffee, scientist at the Linac Coherent Light Source, explains in a video interview.

Physicist Phil Bucksbaum gives a brief introduction to Femtosecond Week at SLAC.

SLAC celebrates five days of ultrafast science.

Join us for five days of ultrafast science from April 17 to 21.

SLAC experiments demonstrate a new way to access valence electrons, which are important in forming chemical bonds and determine many of a material’s properties.

More than 40 interns spent 10 weeks this summer helping SLAC researchers advance the use of the Linac Coherent Light Source.

Understanding how a material’s electrons interact with vibrations of its nuclear lattice could help design and control novel materials, from solar cells to high-temperature superconductors.

Just as Schroedinger's Cat is both alive and dead, an atom or molecule can be in two different states at once. Now scientists have exploited this behavior to make X-ray movies of atomic motion with much more detail than ever...

The fellowship will support their research into developing new methods of imaging tiny particles and understanding the properties of the Higgs boson.

Now the startup, Lumeras LLC, has a viable commercial product, and scientists have a new tool for studying the behavior of complex materials.

Manipulating electron beams of X-ray lasers with regular laser light could potentially open up new scientific avenues.

A SLAC/Stanford study opens a new path to producing laser pulses that are just billionths of a billionth of a second long by inducing ‘high harmonic generation’ in a solid.
