X-ray science

Scientists have developed a new molybdenum-coated catalyst that more efficiently generates hydrogen gas, which could lead to a sustainable clean fuel source in the future.

A new study reveals that organic matter whose breakdown would yield only minimal energy for hungry microorganisms preferentially builds up in floodplains, illuminating a new mechanism of carbon sequestration.

Berkeley Lab is overseeing development of specialized undulators that will produce X-ray light at LCLS-II by wiggling electrons.

Paul Fuoss, the new head of experimental design at LCLS, aims to make experiments at light sources here and around the world more productive and user-friendly.

Researchers at SLAC are already looking at the largely unexplored realm of attosecond science.

Aaron Lindenberg, associate professor at Stanford and SLAC, talks about how he combines X-ray and electron techniques to understand and engineer novel materials.

Read about how SLAC professor Siegfried Glenzer creates extreme conditions like those in the cores of planets and studies nuclear fusion.

Take a digital tour of the undulators and near experimental hall at the Linac Coherent Light Source.

PULSE scientist Amy Cordones-Hahn describes her work on chemical reactions that turn sunlight into useable energy.

Explore the fourth dimension, from processes that occur in billions of years down to tiny slivers of a second.

Learn about X-ray detectors from Gabriella Cabrini, scientist at the Linac Coherent Light Source.
