It's hard enough to climb a mountain with a backpack. But getting a giant digital camera up one is a whole different challenge. To install the LSST Camera on Rubin Observatory, a team led by SLAC has carefully planned out its journey, as covered in Scientific American: scientificamerican.com/article/how-to…
In the extreme temperature and pressure of planets like Neptune, ice can come in exotic forms. Scientists SLAC, Stanford University, UC Berkeley & Johns Hopkins University directly observed one form, Ice XIX, in the lab for the first time: energy.gov/science/bes/ar…
🗓️ Join our next #SLACPublicLecture on 5/23, when Ashley James will uncover the sometimes dark but always intriguing mysteries in the field of toxicology using synchrotron-based techniques!

⚡️ Happy #InternationalDayofLight !
Last year, we turned on the world’s brightest X-ray and we’re still beaming about it.
Check out this video on the recent upgrade and how researchers hope to use it to address some of today’s most pressing questions: bit.ly/3UJ95yG
🌌What is Dark Matter?
Astrophysicist Risa Wechsler explains: 85% of the matter in the universe is dark matter, a substance that interacts through gravity but doesn't emit light.

Scattering amplitudes are important quantities in high-energy physics, but computing them can be a challenge. New work from DSI researchers Kyle Cranmer and Garrett Merz (with collaborators at SLAC, AI at Meta, & University of Copenhagen Research) shows how AI can help. arxiv.org/abs/2405.06107
🥽 There were over 3,600 people at the Stanford University STEMfest community event!
We gave SLAC tours to 90+ people, and SLAC’s GISMo (Grid Integration, Systems and Mobility) Team demonstrated a fun activity for kids to try generating more power on a bike than a solar panel.
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…
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!
