A flash of green laser followed by pulses of X-rays, and mere nanoseconds later an extraterrestrial form of ice has formed.

Sensitive gamma-ray “eye” on NASA’s Fermi space telescope continues to provide unprecedented views of violent phenomena in the cosmos.

Read about how SLAC professor Siegfried Glenzer creates extreme conditions like those in the cores of planets and studies nuclear fusion.

SLAC celebrates five days of ultrafast science.

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

Liu acknowledged for wide-ranging work in energy materials, catalysis, carbon sequestration, material in extreme conditions and scientific big data mining.

Taken at SLAC, microscopic footage of exploding liquids will give researchers more control over experiments at X-ray lasers.

KIPAC researchers mourn the loss of the Hitomi spacecraft but are thrilled about the data it was still able to capture.

Computer simulations and lab experiments help researchers understand the violent universe and could potentially lead to new technologies that benefit humankind.

Toward next-generation electronics, better medications and green energy solutions: "The First Five Years" point to a bright future of high-impact discovery at LCLS.

It will provide new insights into the physics of black holes, the formation of chemical elements, stars and galaxies, and the evolution of the universe itself.

This surprising finding has potentially broad implications, from X-ray imaging of single particles to fusion research.
