Since LCLS began operation in 2009, this singularly powerful “microscope” has generated molecular movies, gotten a glimpse of the birth of a chemical bond, traced electrons moving through materials and made 3-D pictures of proteins that are key to drug discovery.

We know particle physics can seem daunting at times, but everything’s more fun to learn when it rhymes. So we’re breaking it down, letter by letter, with hopes that you’ll understand physics much better - from Symmetry

The latest measurements from the Daya Bay neutrino experiment in China don’t align with predictions from nuclear theory. - from Symmetry

The Lynbrook High team heads back to the National Science Bowl,  in Washington, D.C., in late April.

This new method could remove major obstacles to studying complex biological structures, and that better understanding could drive innovation in areas from energy production to drug development.

Radiation is a part of life. There are radioactive elements in most of the materials we encounter on a daily basis, which constantly spray us with radiation. For the average American, this adds up to a dose of about 620 millirem of radiation every year. That’s roughly equivalent to 10 abdominal X-rays. - from Symmetry

Named "Hitomi" (Japanese for pupil of the eye), the new spacecraft will provide unprecedented views of the violent universe.

For the 35-ton prototype, SLAC and Brookhaven national laboratories provided much of the electronic equipment.

SSRL is conducting experiments on high-performance glassy materials for future LIGO detectors.

Dark matter hunters around the world pursue three ways to look for fingerprints of these ghostly particles: on the Earth’s surface, underground and in space.
