X-ray science

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.

SLAC/Stanford scientists and their colleagues find a new way to efficiently convert CO2 into the building block for sustainable liquid fuels.

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

The next revolutionary X-ray laser in a class of its own, LCLS-II, is under construction at SLAC, with support from four other DOE national laboratories.

A new way to arrange the hard-working atoms in this part of an exhaust system could lower the cost of curbing pollution from automotive engines.

At SLAC’s FACET facility, researchers have produced an intense electron beam by 'sneaking’ electrons into plasma, demonstrating a method that could be used in future compact discovery machines that explore the subatomic world.

Stanford researchers have made a significant advance in the development of artificial catalysts for making cleaner chemicals and fuels at an industrial scale.

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

This early-career scientist has undertaken challenging projects with significant implications for lithium-ion batteries.
