Maria Elena Monzani prepares an international team to search for clues to one of the biggest scientific mysteries.

Physicist Tor Raubenheimer explores the world by climbing rocks and designing particle accelerators.

For mechanical engineer Sarah Edwards, SSRL is the ultimate classic car.

In SLAC’s accelerator control room, shift lead Ben Ripman and a team of operators fine-tune X-ray beams for science experiments around the clock.

He helped lay the groundwork for SLAC’s LCLS X-ray laser and for the institute, which was founded to explore the science LCLS would enable.

The SIMES researcher was a rare theorist who concerned himself with the implications of his abstract ideas about new quantum states of matter on experiments and future technologies.

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.
