Their work helps reveal the inner workings of cells and the behavior of matter under extreme pressures and temperatures.

Three physicists talk about how they got started, their work at SLAC and what they would say to others considering a career in STEM.

The work sheds light on the web of hydrogen bonds that gives water its strange properties, which play a vital role in many chemical and biological processes.

Teaching machine learning the basics of accelerator physics is particularly useful in situations where actual data don’t exist.

The process, which also facilitates name changes for religious, marital and other reasons, allows researchers of all genders to own their academic work by updating their names on previous publications.

Fulfilling a prediction of Einstein’s theory of General Relativity, researchers report the first-ever recordings of X-ray emissions from the far side of a black hole.

The research could lead to a better understanding of extreme astrophysical environments and the development of compact high-energy radiation sources for science.

An international team led by SLAC/Stanford Professor Ed Solomon used a tantalizing principle borrowed from nature to turn harmful methane into useful methanol.

They discover a short-lived state that could lead to faster and more energy-efficient computing devices.

She toured the lab’s powerful X-ray laser, looked at the construction of the world’s largest digital camera, and discussed climate research, industries of the future, and diversity, equity and inclusion in the sciences.

The lab will help fund the work of researchers who use artificial intelligence and machine learning to make energy systems more sustainable, affordable, resilient and fair to all socioeconomic groups.

The Horizon Prizes celebrate the most exciting, contemporary chemical science at the cutting edge of research and innovation.
