Is that Veritasium at SLAC? Check out some of these behind-the-scenes shots as the team visited the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, ‌LCLS, and much more for their latest video. | SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory

2025 was the year of quantum. From 100 years of quantum mechanics to winning Nobel prizes, if you haven’t gotten your quantum fix, there’s more to come. For now, check out our landing page: https://stanford.io/40YBzZi | SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory

Revealing ancient star maps 🌌 The Codex Climaci Rescriptus palimpsest is a centuries old manuscript that hides what may be the oldest-known map of the stars. X-ray beams from our synchrotron at SLAC are helping uncover the long-erased and overwritten star map by scanning for trace metals left behind by the original inks. | SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory

🤩 SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory runs a linear particle accelerator. Today, scientists and engineers at SLAC use the accelerator to generate a very powerful X-ray laser. Such a refined X-ray light beam is used to penetrate deep into matter at the molecular and atomic level, and allows scientists to produce "movies" of the behavior of these atoms and molecules. Generally it's very difficult to look at atoms and see how they behave and that's why SLAC built this X-ray laser. Technically it'
