Huge appreciation for Taran, who is driving forward the field of attosecond science - the topic of this year’s Nobel Prize in physics - showing how we can use the brightest source of attosecond X-rays on the planet! #LCLS

It’s amazing to think that the quantum state of iron can affect the evolution of our planet. Even more amazing is that we can test this in the lab…

SLAC scientists shed light on nitroxide, a molecule with potential applications in the biomedical field. What they learned could lead to entirely new ways to use light to treat cardiovascular, microbial infections, cancer, and other health conditions. stanford.io/46JEVQs

Energy Secretary Granholm visits SLAC Lab, celebrates advancements in tech for clean energy ktvu.com/news/energy-se…

America is home to the brightest, fastest, most powerful X-ray laser in the world thanks to SLAC. Yesterday, we celebrated the upgraded Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS-II) and a new wave of scientific development from quantum materials to clean energy tech and medicine. 1/

LCLS-II produces the world’s brightest X-ray pulses, over 1 billion times brighter than a traditional source. It's like a big, fast camera w/ a bright flash capturing X-ray snapshots of atoms + molecules—revealing fundamental processes in materials, technology + living things. 2/

With the world’s most powerful X-ray laser in our front yard, we can study the chemistry of new medicines, develop the future of clean fuel production, energy-efficient batteries, or even design better catalysts for industrial processes. 3/

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy SLAC and Denmark Technical University designed an X-ray microscope that can directly observe sound waves at the tiniest of scales using the Linac Coherent Light Source DOE Office of Science #userfacility ow.ly/qaW550Q2ENc

✨LCLS, the world's first hard X-ray free-electron laser at SLAC, went from 120 to 1 million pulses/second! This upgrade, with an X-ray beam nearly 10,000 times brighter will revolutionize our ability to track chemical reactions in real time! Learn more: stanford.io/3KfzsrE

🤝 A big thank you to the Instrument Scientists for their contributions to LCLS-II! #ourLCLSstory #teamworkmakesthebeamwork Learn more: stanford.io/46WXbWK

💫 We can't contain our excitement! SLAC will apply its expertise in laser and target technologies to two DOE-funded fusion energy hubs that were announced today - one led by Colorado State University and another by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. stanford.io/46Nmhqe

For those interested in the applications of X-rays to probing the structure and dynamics of complex matter, see our new book chapter! Hopefully this can help inform the development of exciting new proposals for beamtime at #LCLS...! Royal Society of Chemistry SLAC books.rsc.org/books/edited-v…

Fascinating insight into ionic processes that underpin atmospheric and interstellar chemistry, thanks to the ultrafast tools available SLAC #LCLS DOE Office of Science

🍀 We’re clover the moon about the new upgrade to our LCLS upgrade! We received the first LCLS-II-HE cryomodule from Jefferson Lab decorated to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, and it really sham-rocks! Keep calm and leprechaun, and stay tuned about LCLS-II-HE! stanford.io/4crPBGW

You may have seen stop-motion photography of a falling droplet of water. With tools SLAC, scientists The University of Chicago & Argonne National Lab went several steps further and took an image of the real-time motions of electrons in liquid water while "freezing" the nucleus: news.uchicago.edu/story/first-ti…

Excellent article opnmagazine on the status and prospects of X-ray Free Electron Lasers, and how we’re entering an incredible new era of science SLAC, alongside our sister facility European XFEL and @DESY, complemented by activities all over the world. Well worth the read!

Capturing fast-moving objects is always tough for photographers. It's even harder when they're subatomic. Researchers Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Argonne National Lab and their partners used tools SLAC to develop a new technique to observe electron motion in liquid water: pnnl.gov/publications/a…

1,000X more power than the average yearly output of a nuclear power plant! The LCLS-II SLAC produced that much power in only 440 billionths of a billionth of a second, as covered in New Scientist. LCLS-II allows us to study nature's fastest processes: newscientist.com/article/243192…

Very proud of my student, @SathyaChitturi who passed his PhD defense today! Really exceptional work- collaborative, creative, and clever- with 4 first-author papers published over his 4 years, at the intersection of data science and materials science. Congratulations, Sathya!
