Power Plants: Scientists Use X-ray Laser to Probe Engines of Photosynthesis
The molecular power plants that carry out photosynthesis are at the root of a scientific quest to learn how they channel energy from sunlight to split water into oxygen and hydrogen. Understanding these fundamental processes could help scientists develop technologies that replicate nature’s handiwork to produce cheaper and more efficient fuels.

SLAC Synchrotron Reveals Core of Ancient Warship Battering Ram
In a recently published paper, scientists from SLAC and the University of Palermo reveal the underlying materials of a bronze, beak-like ram that an ancient warship used to sink enemies before it went to its own watery grave off the coast of Sicily some 2,300 years ago.

From the Director of SSRL: How SSRL Contributes to SLAC's Growth
It is amazing to see how far SLAC has come in our transformation to a multi-purpose laboratory, and very exciting to be part of this change. At the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL), we focus in particular on advancing SLAC’s objective of becoming the world’s premier photon-science laboratory.
