Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS)

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

This leap in capability will allow scientists to investigate quantum and chemical systems more directly than ever before.

Researchers demonstrate a new ability to drive and track electronic motion, which is crucial to understanding the role of electrons in chemical processes and how quantum coherence evolves on the shortest timescales.

For decades Z-X Shen has ridden a wave of curiosity about the strange behavior of electrons that can levitate magnets.

Q-NEXT will tackle next-generation quantum science challenges through a public-private partnership, ensuring U.S. leadership in an economically crucial arena.

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

The technique could improve the efficiency of data collection and pave the way for new kinds of experiments.

The technique they used will offer insight into many different chemical reactions.

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

A proposed device could expand the reach of X-ray lasers, opening new experimental avenues in biology, chemistry, materials science and physics.

The prestigious awards provide at least $2.5 million over five years in support of their work in understanding photochemical reactions and improving accelerator beams.

It could offer insights into the evolution of planetary systems and guide scientists hoping to harness nuclear fusion as a new source of energy.
