Interactive exhibits, engaging demos, and group tours showcased some of the amazing science happening at SLAC.
How does an X-ray Free-Electron Laser work?
Our underground electron accelerator gets electrons moving so fast (99.9% the speed of light) and they can release ultra bright X-ray light used for scientific experiments!
And our X-ray laser is the most powerful of its kind.
