The technique could improve the efficiency of data collection and pave the way for new kinds of experiments.

The technology could save the lives of COVID-19 patients when more advanced ventilators are too expensive or not available.

The technique they used will offer insight into many different chemical reactions.

Researchers developed a way to measure the basic properties of matter at the highest pressures thus far achieved in a controlled laboratory experiment.

In a new perspective, SLAC and University of Paderborn scientists argue that research at synchrotrons could help improve water-purifying materials in ways that might not otherwise be possible.

Marking the beginning of the LCLS-II era, the first phase of the major upgrade comes online.

New research could offer insights into the formation of planets like Earth and inform the design of more resilient materials.

A proposed device could expand the reach of X-ray lasers, opening new experimental avenues in biology, chemistry, materials science and physics.

It could offer insights into the evolution of planetary systems and guide scientists hoping to harness nuclear fusion as a new source of energy.

Physicists at SLAC and Stanford propose that the influence of cosmic rays on early life may explain nature’s preference for a uniform “handedness” among biology’s critical molecules.

Revealing both sides of the story in a single experiment has been a grand scientific challenge.

Understanding nature’s process could inform the next generation of artificial photosynthetic systems that produce clean and renewable energy from sunlight and water.
