SLAC study of tiny nanocrystals provides new insight on the design and function of nanomaterials

Developed at SLAC’s LCLS, it could also yield new information from hard-to-study samples in materials science, chemistry and other fields.

For the first time, researchers have produced a 3-D image revealing some of the inner structure of an intact, infectious virus.

An X-ray laser experiment could lead to new drugs that lessen the side effects caused by powerful painkillers like morphine.

Scientists have used an X-ray laser at SLAC to get the first glimpse of the transition state where two atoms begin to form a weak bond on the way to becoming a molecule.

Technique Could Allow Study of Viral Infections, Cell Division and Photosynthesis in New Detail

Scientists have assembled an exotic toolbox for experiments that tap into the brightest X-rays on the planet.

He’s known for exploring fundamental properties of novel materials on the nanoscale, and for developing new tools for the exploration.

A scientist at Germany’s DESY lab who participated in pioneering studies at SLAC's LCLS has been awarded a scientific prize by a research foundation.

Researchers captured the highest-resolution snapshots ever taken with an X-ray laser that show changes in a protein’s structure over time.

An experiment at SLAC provided the first fleeting glimpse of the atomic structure of a material as it entered a state resembling room-temperature superconductivity – a long-sought phenomenon in which materials might conduct electricity with 100 percent efficiency under everyday...

SLAC and RadiaBeam Systems have teamed up to construct a “dechirper” that will allow scientists to adjust the “color spectrum” of X-ray pulses in pioneering LCLS experiments.
