Ultrafast science

This leap in capability will allow scientists to investigate quantum and chemical systems more directly than ever before.

Researchers demonstrate a new ability to drive and track electronic motion, which is crucial to understanding the role of electrons in chemical processes and how quantum coherence evolves on the shortest timescales.

The technique could improve the efficiency of data collection and pave the way for new kinds of experiments.

The technique they used will offer insight into many different chemical reactions.

Marking the beginning of the LCLS-II era, the first phase of the major upgrade comes online.

New research could offer insights into the formation of planets like Earth and inform the design of more resilient materials.

A proposed device could expand the reach of X-ray lasers, opening new experimental avenues in biology, chemistry, materials science and physics.

The prestigious awards provide at least $2.5 million over five years in support of their work in understanding photochemical reactions and improving accelerator beams.

It could offer insights into the evolution of planetary systems and guide scientists hoping to harness nuclear fusion as a new source of energy.

Revealing both sides of the story in a single experiment has been a grand scientific challenge.
