Laser-driven break up of "buckyballs" is recorded in real-time by X-ray imaging at LCLS. 

A new machine learning algorithm rapidly reconstructs 3D images from X-ray data. 

SLAC and Stanford scientists uncovered a quantum spin liquid, a state of matter that may have applications for quantum information.

He was honored for his work in ultrafast physics.

SLAC and Stanford partner with Argonne National Laboratory and others toward a quantum-interconnected world.

Quantum networking is the framework that uses the strange properties of quantum mechanics to transmit quantum information, encoded in qubits, from one quantum device to another.

After a major upgrade, SLAC's X-ray free-electron laser is 10,000 times brighter and thousands of times faster. Now, researchers are using LCLS to observe electrons in real time as they move across molecules.

Her work will advance a next-generation experiment in the hope of detecting this mysterious ingredient of the universe.

Quantum materials behave in unexpected ways compared to the classical materials we are used to. 

With survey operations set to begin this fall, the Rubin control room at SLAC will serve as a key hub for training and remote observing support for the NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory.

Quantum sensing uses quantum phenomena to detect extremely subtle signals or changes that are beyond the reach of many traditional sensors.

X-rays unveil new molecular structure details that will help researchers design novel drug therapies to address antibiotic resistant bacteria.
