The event drew more than 400 participants, with workshops and presentations focusing on collaborations and new technology at SLAC’s light sources.

The prize, shared with Sekazi Mtingwa and Anton Piwinski, honors theoretical work that helped sharpen the focus of beams at a wide variety of particle accelerators.

More than 40 interns spent 10 weeks this summer helping SLAC researchers advance the use of the Linac Coherent Light Source.

Award honors accomplishments in condensed matter physics and electrochemistry at SSRL.

The discovery is one of the first steps towards mapping hues of fossilized species.

Just as Schroedinger's Cat is both alive and dead, an atom or molecule can be in two different states at once. Now scientists have exploited this behavior to make X-ray movies of atomic motion with much more detail than ever...

A team led by chemists at Stanford University and SLAC has unraveled a longstanding mystery that brings them one step closer to a cleaner, more energy-efficient way to make methanol, an important industrial chemical used in products such as paints...

The goal of the DuraMat consortium is to make solar modules last longer, and thus drive down the cost of solar energy.

The award honors his work on a world-class experimental station at SLAC's Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource.

Participants of SLAC’s summer school learned about the next generation of collider physics through lectures, topical conference talks, student projects, poster sessions and tours.

Researchers have engineered a low-cost plastic material that could become the basis for clothing that cools the wearer, reducing the need for energy-consuming air conditioning.

The discovery could make water splitting, a key step in a number of clean energy technologies, cheaper and more efficient.
