Scientists at Stanford and SLAC are using X-ray technology to observe lithium-sulfur batteries in action. Their findings could lead to improvements in this promising power source for electric ...

The script was drafted ahead of production, and correspondence shows that even at that time, the prospect of explaining SLAC’s science to the public was a challenge. A letter from then-assistant to ...

SLAC has over 1,600 employees, including 60 members of Stanford’s faculty and many graduate students. The underground accelerator was built in the 1960s to do research on particle physics.

It took nearly a decade but the new super-powerful, super-chilled coherent laser system at Stanford's SLAC is ready to unlock the quantum realm's secrets with massively powerful X-ray blasts.

SLAC has since been reinventing the giant accelerator. And the center itself has also diversified away from its roots as an accelerator facility, as we got to see in a recent visit.

In October 2023, John Sarrao ’89 became the newest director of the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, the sixth in its history. Sarrao had previously worked for 30 years at Los Alamos ...

One of the world’s most powerful lasers can soon begin peering deeper into the atomic world thanks to recent, cutting-edge X-ray upgrades. Stanford’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has ...

As the nation moves to an all-electric future, demand is growing for cheaper, better, safer and more sustainable batteries. A new SLAC-Stanford Battery Center, launched on Thursday, aims to spur ...

SLAC race The long, straight stretch beside the world's longest building, the klystron gallery of the two-mile Stanford Linear Accelerator, seems to compel exercise. On any given day, lunch-time ...

SLAC will become a major tenant of SRCF-II – a modern data center that will provide an environment that is designed to operate 24/7 without service interruptions and with data integrity in mind.
