The X-ray Pump Probe instrument is returning to normal operations this spring, anticipating a major capability boost when the high-energy beam comes online. 

This video breaks down how Rubin will run the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) and build a 10-year time lapse of the entire Southern sky.

SLAC scientists played key roles in leadership, survey design, cosmological  applications, studies of dark matter and of links to the cosmic microwave background.

Researchers used X-ray lasers to control a modified cardiovascular drug with light and captured snapshots showing how it binds to proteins.

Researchers reengineered an ePix10k detector for use in ultrafast electron diffraction, empowering studies of chemical processes that were previously out of reach. 

Rubin’s largest asteroid haul yet, gathered before the Legacy Survey of Space and Time even begins, is just the “tip of the iceberg.”

The research sheds light on how a key regulator of inflammation forms, which could help guide new therapeutic approaches to inflammatory diseases.

Argonne, SLAC researchers designed a chip that compresses and processes detector data instantly, letting scientists analyze results and steer experiments as they happen.

By instigating atomic disorder in lithium-ion battery materials, researchers created more stable materials that don’t expand, contract and degrade like traditional materials do.

SLAC researchers and collaborators trained a neural network that can use ion momentum to work backward and predict the pre-blast geometry of a molecule.

The experiment’s detectors have reached their operating temperature, almost a thousand times colder than outer space.

An international team of researchers simulated magnetic forces in the early universe and found they could bridge the gap between the observed and calculated rates of the universe’s expansion.
