Announcement of Ultrafast X-ray Summer School 2020
The Ultrafast X-ray Summer School 2020 (UXSS 2020) will take place at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, in Menlo Park, California, 15-18 June 2020.
PULSE scientists invent a way to see attosecond electron motions with an X-ray laser
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have invented a way to observe the movements of electrons with powerful X-ray laser bursts just 280 attoseconds, or billionths of a billionth of a second, long. The technology, called X-ray laser-enhanced attosecond pulse generation (XLEAP), is a big advance that scientists have been working toward for years, and it paves the way for breakthrough studies of how electrons speeding around molecules initiate crucial processes in biology, chemistry, materials science and more.

A quick liquid flip helps explain how morphing materials store information
Experiments at SLAC’s X-ray laser reveal in atomic detail how two distinct liquid phases in these materials enable fast switching between glassy and crystalline states that represent 0s and 1s in memory devices.
