SLAC people

The early-career award honors a promising leader in X-ray free-electron laser research.

Using SLAC’s X-ray synchrotron SSRL, Cao improves fundamental knowledge about how a new lithium-ion battery material works, which will help enable safer, longer-lasting devices.

A team of electrical designers develops specialized microchips for a broad range of scientific applications, including X-ray science and particle physics.

She’ll direct the future of astrophysics research at SLAC and Stanford for the next five years.

Their work will deepen our understanding of matter in extreme conditions and fundamental particle physics.

Richter designed particle accelerators and carried out experiments that led to the Nobel Prize-winning discovery of the charm quark.

SLAC and Stanford researchers are developing a device that combines electrical brain stimulation with EEG recording, opening potential new paths for treating neurological disorders.

Approaching retirement, Jean Deken describes what it’s like to preserve decades of collective scientific memory at a national lab.

The foils, each made from a single chemical element, are used to calibrate X-ray equipment at SLAC’s SSRL synchrotron, and were donated by long-time user, Farrel Lytle.

The accomplished particle physicist will prepare the lab for its role in DUNE, a next-generation experiment designed to demystify neutrinos and their fundamental role in the universe.

An award-winning mentor and networking guru, Al Ashley has placed thousands of underrepresented minority students in science and engineering summer research programs.

One of the pioneering particle physicists working at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Taylor carried out experiments that led to the 1990
