Stanford PULSE Institute

Researchers at SLAC have found a simple new way to study very delicate biological samples – like proteins at work in photosynthesis and components of protein-making machines called ribosomes – at the atomic scale using SLAC's X-ray laser.

In a first-of-its-kind experiment, scientists got a textbook-worthy result that may change the way matter is probed at X-ray free-electron lasers.

SLAC study of tiny nanocrystals provides new insight on the design and function of nanomaterials

He’s known for exploring fundamental properties of novel materials on the nanoscale, and for developing new tools for the exploration.

In this lecture, SLAC’s Ryan Coffee explains how researchers are beginning to use pattern recognition and machine learning to study chemical reactions at the level of atoms and molecules with the LCLS X-ray laser.

The world's first large-scale, interactive molecular physics experience is the brainchild of David Glowacki, a visiting researcher at the PULSE Institute.

SLAC Experiment Reveals Mysterious Order in Liquid Helium

SLAC Research Reveals Rapid DNA Changes that Act as Molecular Sunscreen

Scientists at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have made the first structural observations of liquid water at temperatures down to minus 51 degrees Fahrenheit, within an elusive “no man’s land” where water’s strange properties are super-amplified.

A sense of adventure and intellectual rigor led PULSE chemistry professor Kelly Gaffney to a successful career in science.

The Department of Energy has awarded two Stanford scientists funding through the agency’s Early Career Research Program.

In a recent experiment at SLAC's Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource, scientists "tickled" atoms to explore the flow of heat and energy across materials at ultrasmall scales.
