X-ray imaging

For the first time, researchers have produced a 3-D image revealing some of the inner structure of an intact, infectious virus.

Technique Could Allow Study of Viral Infections, Cell Division and Photosynthesis in New Detail

Scientists have assembled an exotic toolbox for experiments that tap into the brightest X-rays on the planet.

Researchers captured the highest-resolution snapshots ever taken with an X-ray laser that show changes in a protein’s structure over time.

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory are combining the speed and precision of robots with one of the brightest X-ray lasers on the planet for pioneering studies of proteins important to biology and drug discovery.

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.

Scientists have used SLAC’s X-ray laser to produce detailed images of tiny cellular structures that play a major role in Earth’s life-sustaining carbon cycle.
