Line intensity mapping measurements taken with a new instrument will allow astrophysicists to study galaxies too far away for traditional methods.

Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time will revolutionize Solar System science by revealing a population of previously undiscovered interstellar comets and asteroids passing through our cosmic neighborhood.

Leora Dresselhaus-Marais, Claudio Emma,  Bernhard Mistlberger and Johanna Nelson Weker will pursue cutting-edge research into decarbonizing steel production, theoretical physics, generating more intense particle beams, and improving X-ray microscopes.

Bringing ultrafast physics to structural biology has revealed the coordinated dance of molecules in unprecedented clarity, which could aid in the design of new light-responsive materials.

How does sunscreen work on the atomic level?

The long – but not too long – cavity would ping-pong X-ray pulses inside of a particle accelerator facility to help capture nature’s fastest movements.

The reanalysis considered new types of particle collisions and how dark matter particles interact with the Earth. 

Researchers demonstrate a way to remove the potent greenhouse gas from the exhaust of engines that burn natural gas.  

It irons out wrinkles in thin films of these novel superconductors so scientists can see their true nature for the first time. 

The results should further our understanding of similar reactions with vital roles in chemistry, such as the production of vitamin D in our bodies.

The results offer important implications for astrophysics and nuclear fusion research.

A low-cost, recyclable powder can kill thousands of waterborne bacteria per second when exposed to sunlight. Stanford and SLAC scientists say the ultrafast disinfectant could be a revolutionary advance for 2 billion people worldwide without access to safe drinking water.
