X-ray light sources and electron imaging

X-rays show details of an insect virus’s crystalline cocoon with sub-nanometer resolution.

After 50 Years of Operation, One-third of the Lab’s Historic Linear Accelerator Is Extracted to Build Powerful New X-Ray Laser

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

This video explains how, in a previous paper, researchers were able to see two key steps in photosynthetic water splitting under conditions as it occurs in nature, a big step to decoding how the process works in detail.

New X-ray methods have captured the highest resolution room-temperature images of photosystem II.

Two recently funded computing projects work toward developing cutting-edge scientific applications for future exascale supercomputers that can perform at least a billion billion computing operations per second.

During a recent shutdown, engineers installed new beamline technology and a 3-D virtual tour captured rare views of the synchrotron’s interior.

For the first time, scientists at SLAC’s X-ray laser have created bright, three-colored X-ray pulses.

The event drew more than 400 participants, with workshops and presentations focusing on collaborations and new technology at SLAC’s light sources.

Award honors accomplishments in condensed matter physics and electrochemistry at SSRL.

SLAC’s X-ray laser provides clues to engineering a new protein to kill mosquitos that carry dengue and Zika.
