The Stanford University University @SLACLab National Accelerator Lab – 1 of 17 U.S. Department of Energy labs, SLAC pushes the frontiers of human knowledge & drives discoveries that benefit humankind through strategic partnerships.

Switching things up. Just published an IR study on the R277H mutant in good 'ole nitrogenase. Rationalizing observed IR to epr species. The legacy of Bromana Dudeulo. authors.elsevier.com/c/1ewIUarcmTvi…

Please consider attending the Ultrafast X-ray Summer School (UXSS) held at SLAC on June 20-23. There will be great talks and a data analysis workshop. Registration is $25 and open until June 1. web.stanford.edu/group/pulse_in…

Our work out in IC. Part 2/3 of the "new old mutants" nitrogenase series. Finally a study with my friends Simon J George and Bromana Dudeulo together.

Congratulations to the ~75 scientific groups and hundreds of researchers from across the US and around the world awarded access to our #LCLS facility SLAC! An incredible array ranging from RNA studies to additive manufacturing & magma oceans. lcls.slac.stanford.edu/sites/default/…

Not sure who was waiting with bated breath but I've recovered spectra.tools and the encryption issue has been resolved. A semi-smooth 11th hour conversion to Rancher 2 thanks to excellent support at NERSC as usual. spectra.tools

Register for the SSRL/LCLS User Meeting and hear about the exciting user science happening at SLAC! I'll be hosting a plenary session discussing scientific synergy across SLAC facilities and a workshop highlighting X-ray spectroscopy at both X-ray sources. events.bizzabo.com/SLAC-UsersMeet…

We are hiring at the LCLS XFEL in the Biological Sciences research division SLAC. Research Associate (NIH funded R&D for serial femtosecond crystallography) Job ID: 5120 Associate Staff Scientist (Operations at the MFX experiment hutch) Job ID: 5121 careers.slac.stanford.edu

If anyone has any refereed publications in the last year utilizing spectra.tools please let me know! It is time for my annual renewal proposal of the computational resources... Pubs already accounted for are on this list: spectra.tools/bin/controller…

Looking to hire a postdoc for a 2-year (funded) project I'm guiding at the LCLS SLAC. Background in inorganic chemistry with a motivation to learn X-ray spectroscopy and photochemistry of bioinorganic systems would be ideal. #chemjobs careers.slac.stanford.edu Job ID: 5166

Synchrotron-based Ni-61 Mössbauer is still thriving! New work out in J. Am. Chem. Soc. using Ni-61 SR-MB to develop structural insights into a Ni CO2 reducing catalyst. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Out now in Nature! Great user-work studying the final step of Photosystem II. Took quite a village with measurements at the LCLS and SACLA. nature.com/articles/s4158…

New user study officially out in JACS using ultrafast XANES and XES to monitor cobalamin photodynamics. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Unraveling Metal–Ligand Bonding in an HNO-Evolving {FeNO}6 Complex with a Combined X-ray Spectroscopic Approach | Journal of the American Chemical Society SLAC #MetalLigand #Bonding #Fe #XRay #Spectroscopy pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Out in J. Am. Chem. Soc.! Studying the electronic structures of trigonal non-heme Fe(IV)=O systems. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Staying on the topic of non-heme Fe, new manuscript out now in Angewandte Chemie. An Fe(IV) S=1 intermediate in an enzyme. Led by Alex Guo onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

Our new study using multifaceted synchrotron spectroscopies to target the static electronic/geometric structure of an HNO photoevolving Fe-NO complex. Colocation of two lightsources at SLAC doesn't just mean sharing instruments but sharing expertise. LCLS & SSRL team.

From this week's covers: "Unraveling Metal–Ligand Bonding in an HNO-Evolving {FeNO}6 Complex with a Combined X-ray Spectroscopic Approach". Read the full article here ➡️ go.acs.org/6jF

A great start to some cool science. Highlights the unique possibilities of having two co-located lightsources (SSRL and the LCLS).
