Molecular movie-making is both an art and a science; the results let us watch how nature works on the smallest scales.

The annual conference for scientists who conduct research at SLAC’s light sources engaged about 350 researchers in talks, workshops and discussions.

She is recognized for two decades of innovation and excellence at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource.

A new study shows how soccer ball-shaped molecules burst more slowly than expected when blasted with an X-ray laser beam.

Early career award recognizes Mitrano’s work in ultrafast X-ray scattering.

The studies could lead to a new understanding of how high-temperature superconductors operate.

The SLAC scientists will each receive $2.5 million for their research on fusion energy and advanced radiofrequency technology.

The technique can be used to study molecular phenomena and the forming and breaking of chemical bonds.

Combined with the lab’s LCLS X-ray laser, it’ll provide unprecedented atomic views of some of nature’s speediest processes.

Experiments at SLAC’s X-ray laser reveal in atomic detail how two distinct liquid phases in these materials enable fast switching between glassy and crystalline states that represent 0s and 1s in memory devices.

A new method could be used to look at chemical reactions that other techniques can’t catch, for instance in catalysis, photovoltaics, peptide and combustion research.
