Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL)

Scientists worldwide who conduct research at SLAC’s light sources shine light on latest discoveries and innovations in talks, workshops and discussions.

SLAC is leading an effort to build a network that will enable AI and machine learning to steer experiments and more.

Tanner works on self-assembling nanocrystals, which could be the basis for less expensive, easier to build displays and solar cells.

Alimohamadi is being recognized for her novel integration of theoretical and experimental results to connect diverse health outcomes with cell membrane behavior.

A materials chemist and SLAC associate scientist, Preefer is excited about the synergies being sparked at the SLAC-Stanford Battery Center. 

Wheat and other sources of gluten can spell trouble for people with the disease, but new findings could aid the development of first-ever drugs for the autoimmune disorder.

Supported by SLAC's catalysis group Co-ACCESS, researchers discover new ways to boost the performance of catalysts that turn carbon dioxide into methanol. 

Devereaux was honored for contributions to materials science and was among seven Stanford-affiliated researchers named AAAS Fellows this year.

Scientists at Stanford and NYU have published and investigated a new structure of the protein LAG-3 which could enable the development of new cancer treatments.

A   swap of metals and a mutation ramp up the electric field strength at the active site of an enzyme, making it   works an astonishing 50 times faster than its unmodified analog.  

Powerful X-rays generated at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory help researchers shed new light on feather evolution.

Sebek’s extraordinary career at SSRL includes helping build the facility’s original electron injector back in the 1980s and working on almost all of its electrical systems since.
