X-ray science

An associate scientist at SSRL, Richardson studies plant growth to find ways to enhance nutrient uptake in plants, especially in challenging conditions – such as higher temperatures, drought, and intense precipitation events – brought about by climate change.

For nearly 50 years, Hodgson has illuminated the synchrotron radiation community through his pioneering research, innovations, leadership, advocacy and mentorship at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource.

Descamps was recognized for turning the world’s most powerful X-ray laser into a sophisticated tool for probing extremely hot, dense matter.

Scientists worldwide who conduct research at SLAC’s light sources shine light on latest discoveries and innovations in talks, workshops and discussions.

The SLAC professor was elected to the American Physical Society in recognition of his research on ultrafast X-ray methods.

SLAC is leading an effort to build a network that will enable AI and machine learning to steer experiments and more.

This research advances our understanding of Earth's deep interior and exoplanets, opening new research avenues in Earth and planetary sciences.

The high-energy upgrade will keep the U.S. at the forefront of X-ray science and technology, allowing researchers to advance fields such as sustainability, human health and quantum information.

Tanner works on self-assembling nanocrystals, which could be the basis for less expensive, easier to build displays and solar cells.

Alimohamadi is being recognized for her novel integration of theoretical and experimental results to connect diverse health outcomes with cell membrane behavior.

David Cesar, Julia Gonski and W.L. Kimmy Wu will each receive $2.75 million issued over five years for their research in X-ray and ultrafast science, new physics and primordial gravitational waves.

The results, which show how the protein adds nucleotides to the growing RNA chain, could lead to more effective medications.
