    Marking 20 years of Ultrafast X-ray Summer School! More than 2,000 trainees have come through this program – from members of detector teams to area managers – preparing the next generation of X-ray scientists for the next generation of X-ray lasers.

    Caught for the first time! Two ultrafast electron motion phenomena as they take place during the first 10 millionths of a billionth of a second of making & breaking chemical bonds! And the results contradict what leading computer simulations predicted: stanford.io/4fRYOdQ

    The eighth month is upon us 🎱 Which means the August edition of our monthly Signals newsletter is here. From quantum qubits & tech transfer events to Genesis Mission awards and new views of the COSMOS, learn about the latest at the lab: bit.ly/4fKtDBf
    Three people are working together on a complex piece of machinery related to quantum computing, a dilution refrigerator. They are adjusting and examining gold-colored components and wiring within a large, open-frame apparatus in a laboratory setting.
    A person stands giving a presentation in a lecture room. Behind them is a large screen showing a scenic landscape, with logos of Stanford University, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, and COMPASS. A banner reads, "Building Generational Businesses from National Lab Innovation." Audience members are seated in the foreground.
    An abstract image featuring a network diagram on an orange background, with icons of a book, a gear with a lightbulb in it, a piece of paper with a magnifying glass, and a beaker with a lightning bolt. On the right, cubes labeled "Co" and "Ni" and on the left, a yellow container holding batteries.
    A new NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory image featuring hundreds of thousands of distant galaxies in and around the COSMOS field marks the observatory’s first LSST Camera image and catalog release for science. (NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory/NOIRLab/SLAC/AURA)

    lab “round-robin” From SLAC, to @Stanford, to @penn_state, to @UCSB. 4 labs collaborated on experiments to show how AI can predict new catalysts for future fuel production. But, variation in results highlight need for extra standardization in ML models: stanford.io/4w3uT8E
    A digital illustration depicting a graph with "Rate" on the vertical axis and "Time" on the horizontal axis. Various colored lines and molecular structures, including representations of atoms connected by lines, surround the graph. A network of interconnected points is shown below, representing a digital or scientific concept. The background is a deep blue with abstract patterns.

    America’s first website 🖥️ That was it. Dating back to 1991 following a visit with Tim Berners Lee, SLAC’s websites were the first in North America and are among the oldest original content available on the Web.
    A computer window displaying the SLACVM Information Service. It includes links labeled "BINLIST" for the SLAC phone book with email addresses and "HEP" for the SPIRES HEP preprint database.
