SLAC invention uses terahertz radiation to power a miniscule copper accelerator structure. Particle accelerators generate high-energy beams of electrons, protons and ions for a wide…
University of Alberta researchers worked with SLAC X-ray scientists to explore the potential of a feline coronavirus drug that may be effective against SARS-CoV-2. Researchers…
The camera will explore cosmic mysteries as part of the Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time. Crews at the Department of Energy’s SLAC…
Scientists are deploying this state-of-the-art X-ray crystallography facility to study biological molecules related to the COVID-19 pandemic. There’s a new bright spot at the Stanford…
Researchers developed a way to measure the basic properties of matter at the highest pressures thus far achieved in a controlled laboratory experiment. Using the…
Observations of dwarf galaxies around the Milky Way have yielded simultaneous constraints on three popular theories of dark matter. A team of scientists led by…
New research could offer insights into the formation of planets like Earth and inform the design of more resilient materials. Iron is the most abundant…
They discovered the messy environment of a chemical reaction can actually change the shape of a catalytic nanoparticle in a way that makes it more…
In experiments at the National Ignition Facility, a SLAC-led team found new details about how supernovas boost charged particles to nearly the speed of light….
New machine learning methods bring insights into how lithium ion batteries degrade, and show it’s more complicated than many thought. Lithium-ion batteries lose their juice…
‘Groupie’ galaxies orbiting Milky Way tell us about dark matter, how galaxy formed. We live in a big-city galaxy. The Milky Way is so big…
Understanding nature’s process could inform the next generation of artificial photosynthetic systems that produce clean and renewable energy from sunlight and water. Photosystem II is…
Revealing both sides of the story in a single experiment has been a grand scientific challenge. Using a high-speed “electron camera” at the Department of…
Light-driven reactions are at the heart of human vision, photosynthesis and solar power generation. Seeing the very first step opens the door to observing chemical…
Learning how liquid silicates behave at these extreme temperatures and pressures has been a longstanding challenge in the geosciences. Far below the Earth’s surface, about…
The advance opens a path toward a new generation of logic and memory devices that could be 10,000 times faster than today’s. In designing electronic…
New research shows that when a bunch of electrons zooms through the middle of a ring-shaped laser beam, the bunch can wind up with higher…
Just like we orbit the sun and the moon orbits us, the Milky Way has satellite galaxies with their own satellites. Drawing from data on…
