Atomic Movies May Help Explain Why Perovskite Solar Cells Are More Efficient
SLAC’s ultrafast “electron camera” reveals unusual atomic motions that could be crucial for the efficiency of next-generation perovskite solar cells.
SLAC, Berkeley Lab Researchers Prepare for Scientific Computing on the Exascale
Two recently funded computing projects work toward developing cutting-edge scientific applications for future exascale supercomputers that can perform at least a billion billion computing operations per second.
A Plasma Tube to Bring Particles up to Speed at SLAC
Researchers have reached another milestone in the development of a promising technology that could lead to more efficient and powerful particle accelerators.
SLAC’s Historic Linac Turns 50 and Gets a Makeover
The lab’s signature particle highway prepares to enter another era of transformative science as the home of the LCLS-II X-ray laser.
Antimatter Catches a Wave at SLAC
A SLAC-led research team working at the lab’s FACET facility has demonstrated a new way of accelerating positrons that could help develop smaller, more economical future particle colliders.
Researchers Hit Milestone in Accelerating Particles with Plasma
Scientists have demonstrated that a promising technique for accelerating electrons on waves of hot plasma is efficient enough to power a new generation of shorter, more economical accelerators.
Antimatter Once More Flowing to Experiments at SLAC
Following an absence of six years, beams of positrons – the antimatter twins of electrons – are once more streaming through SLAC's linear accelerator to waiting experiments.
Spencer Gessner Receives 2014 Siemann Fellowship
Stanford graduate student Spencer Gessner has received a Siemann fellowship to help him continue his research into cutting-edge accelerator physics at SLAC's Facility for Advanced Accelerator Experimental Tests.
SLAC Researcher Lauded for Ground-breaking Graduate Work
FACET postdoc Sébastien Corde has been recognized not once, not twice, not three times, but four times for his research into developing small, economical sources of X-rays using laser-plasma interactions.
LCLS Gets New Equipment, Upgrades During Downtime
Crews will install a powerful new instrument, start assembling a new "self-seeding" system that will focus soft X-ray laser pulses into a bright, narrow band of colors, and upgrade several laser systems during two months of routine downtime at SLAC's Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) X-ray laser.
