Ultrafast electrons at SLAC’s LCLS facility resolved the structural changes in a light-activated molecule to determine which simulations work best. 

Using SLAC’s X-ray laser, the method revealed atomic motions in a simple catalyst, opening the door to study more complex molecules key to chemical processes in industry and nature.

SLAC, Stanford researchers estimate that reducing harmful chemical emissions could cut cancer risks from smoke exposure by over 50%.

Using an advanced technique at SLAC’s Linac Coherent Light Source, researchers make surprising discoveries.

LCLS X-rays allowed researchers to connect the molecular dynamics of supercritical carbon dioxide, used in industrial and environmental applications, with its unique properties.

The SLAC professor was elected to the American Physical Society in recognition of his research on ultrafast X-ray methods.

Their method provides a new tool to study electron-electron interactions, which are fundamental to many technologies, including semiconductors and solar cells.

The Ultrafast X-ray Summer School, run by the Stanford PULSE Institute and hosted at SLAC, opens the door for students and postdocs to imagine how they could use X-ray free electron lasers in their future careers.
