With up to a million X-ray flashes per second, 8,000 times more than its predecessor, it transforms the ability of scientists to explore atomic-scale, ultrafast phenomena that are key to a broad range of applications, from quantum materials to clean...

If scaled up successfully, the team's new system could help answer questions about certain kinds of superconductors and other unusual states of matter.

Spiraling laser light reveals how topological insulators lose their ability to conduct electric current on their surfaces.

Researchers discover they contain a phase of quantum matter, known as charge density waves, that’s common in other unconventional superconductors. In other ways, though, they’re surprisingly unique.

The leaders of SLAC's Technology Innovation Directorate discuss how their group supports the lab's most innovative projects.

It’s a significant step in understanding these whirling quasiparticles and putting them to work in future semiconductor technologies.

Less than a millionth of a billionth of a second long, attosecond X-ray pulses allow researchers to peer deep inside molecules and follow electrons as they zip around and ultimately initiate chemical reactions.

As we step into the quantum age, here are four things to know about quantum networks.

A technique from the newest generation of quantum sensors is helping scientists to use the limitations of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle to their advantage.

Scientists are exploring a variety of ways to make quantum bits. We may not need to settle on a single one.

Topological insulators conduct electricity on their surfaces but not through their interiors. SLAC scientists discovered that high harmonic generation produces a unique signature from the topological surface.
