X-ray imaging

About 400 people attended the annual conference and workshops for scientists who conduct experiments at SLAC’s light sources.

Kumar’s work, carried out in part at SSRL, explains how memristors work – a new class of electronic devices with applications in next-generation information storage and computing.

With SLAC’s X-ray laser, scientists captured a virus changing shape and rearranging its genome to invade a cell.

Over the next five years they’ll work on getting significantly more information about how catalysts work and improving biological imaging methods.

Using an electric field, researchers drew magnetic designs in nonmagnetic material. These efforts could lead to new types of storage devices.

Paleontologist Phil Manning describes the “Imaging Life on Earth” project at TEDxCharleston.

The discovery is one of the first steps towards mapping hues of fossilized species.

The fellowship will support their research into developing new methods of imaging tiny particles and understanding the properties of the Higgs boson.

Liu acknowledged for wide-ranging work in energy materials, catalysis, carbon sequestration, material in extreme conditions and scientific big data mining.

Merging two powerful 3-D X-ray techniques, researchers revealed new details of a process known as metal poisoning that clogs the pores of catalyst particles used in gasoline production, causing them to lose effectiveness.

Contributions to LIGO have come from many Stanford teams, including SLAC, Applied Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Aeronautics and Astronautics and the School of Earth, Energy and Environmental Sciences.

A new study with the LCLS X-ray laser could change the way researchers take atomic-level snapshots of important biological machineries, potentially affecting research in drug development, clean energy production and many more areas.
