Using @SLAClab’s Linac Coherent Light Source, researchers created “molecular movies” of an enzyme linked to cancer and another essential to penicillin production. The findings could inform future drug development. news.stanford.edu/stories/20…

Welcome to Chile, @SLACLab LSST Camera team colleagues! They arrived from California last week for scheduled camera work during NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory’s planned engineering downtime. This engineering period will last about three weeks in total.

“This is something we haven't seen before in nature” - Rachael Kretsch @stanford. Using tools @SLACLab, she led a team that discovered beautiful complexes of RNA that didn’t have any proteins to support them. The work is giving new insights into RNA: www6.slac.stanford.edu/news/…

Just a piece of NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory's Ocean of Stars 🌊✨ This galaxy is MCG-06-33-009, and the blue knots in its spiral arms show where hot, young stars are forming. Rubin will capture billions of galaxies and enable scientists to study how galaxies grow and change 🌀

Just a normal camera, if “normal” means: 🔭 A 3.2-billion-pixel sensor 🌌 A field of view that could fit ~45 full Moons ⏱️ A new 8-gigabyte image every ~40 seconds NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory's LSST Camera is the largest ever built (thanks @SLAClab!) Ok, maybe that's not normal.

No single institution can transform science alone. At the Genesis Mission Summit, @SecretaryWright joined leaders from @Reflection_AI, @GoogleCloud, & @SLAClab to explore how partnership can accelerate scientific discovery at scale. Watch the discussion: youtube.com/watch?v=D_BpG7XM…

Using ultra-fast X-ray flashes, @SLAClab scientists captured the split-second electron movements that kick off a chemical reaction — a process never before filmed on its natural timescale. news.stanford.edu/stories/20…

We're not afraid of commitment 💍🔭 Yes, NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory's LSST is a 10-year commitment! But why? To truly #CaptureTheCosmos, we need to balance both "depth" and "time." Ten years is what we need to achieve both 🌌⏱️ 🎥: NSF–DOE RubinObs/NOIRLab/SLAC/AURA

How fast is the universe expanding? We don't know—different calculation methods produce different answers. But researchers @SLAClab found that including magnetic fields in simulations of the early universe reduces the discrepancy: www6.slac.stanford.edu/news/…
