Scientists at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory are putting the finishing touches on their LCLS-II laser, which will be 10,000 times brighter than the first LCLS laser.

CORRECTION: At 2:18 Dr. Cryan meant to say "an attosecond is to a second as a second is to the age of the universe.", not a femtosecond.
The engineering required for this and something like the LHC is mind-blowing.

It's a big year for science! I can't wait to see what Webb shows us!
My 1st time at SLAC was in the 70's. Its great to see it is still doing cutting edge science.
As I currently work in the UK's Neutron particle accelerator @ STFC, I value this video...its simple enough for the every day person with enough information to help them learn about these sort of systems. The biggest factor is that people don't realise how many of them they are and also the differences between them. Neutron, Proton, X-rays, Muon and the different machines around the world. Many people know about LHC and may consider this to be similar which it would be good to show them where its not. Great video though. Keep up the good work!
Good news is always good. Thank you so much
This was really well done. Thanks CNET!
It's amazing, how the research conducted at SLAC, impacts all the other fields of science! Very interesting and exciting.
Cool. They chose the perfectly-stable-land locations… 😳
Amazing Laboratory of World Best X Ray Laser
"A femtosecond is to a second, what a second is to the age of the universe." WOW, that's a pretty unfathomable number. This is quite the elaborate machine, how much does it cost for a single run of this beast? The power cost alone has to be several thousand dollars per run.

When SLAC refers to brightness, it's important to remember that's not beam power. Brightness is actually amount of power in a subtended solid angle. Or more colloquially how tightly is the beam focused. Last I heard from project scientists, LCLS-II was under delivering design power and over filling its focusing optics. That is to say, not very bright. But maybe these are just the normal start up transients for a big project. It's important to sort out reality from hype.
Doc Cryan seems like exactly the type of person you should have down there. Hes soooo excited about this stuff.
Very impressive 🦾
Everyone in the Peninsula has a friend that works at SLAC. We know what we're driving over.

In the last experiment hall, there seemed to be a lot of "human exposure" within the large chamber. When it's pumped down and active, how much can residual skin or other bio-detritus affect the experiments, or is it a non-issue?

In the video, it was said that the electron beams are diverted to different sites or equipment depending on what kind of experiment they wanted to perform, the question is won't they get more precise and efficient results if LCLS II is connected directly to all these separate experiment chambers and equipment instead of having to divert the electron beams to somewhere else if they want to do this or that. In fact, connecting LCLS II directly to all the separate experiment chambers will save time and will enable various experiments to be conducted at the same time with the same electron beams by just casting or pointing the electron beams to the separate experiment chambers if LCLS II is connected directly to all the separate experiment chambers. It will take more time and money but in my opinion, it will be a lot better.

i guess it isn't bothered by earth quakes (bay area has a few) and traffic vibration. i've driven over that thing thousands of time, always wondered what was going on.

Go to college for Physics and make professional networking a top priority. Build things at home, like fixing your car, or do fun computer science coding projects. Stay interested and make it a hobby so that when life gets tough the skills to be successful are an outlet for you to feel better rather than feeling like a burden. The people at LCLS are both astoundingly smart and, more importantly, some of the kindest people I've ever met.
Most impossible thing to see is that for light at impossible speed to make a 90 degree turn without handbrake or breaking is same like running a straight line... wtf....👀

The earth is so large that the curvacture is subtle. There is an equation to find how far you can see before the horizon is out of line of sight. R^2 + x^2 = (R+h)^2
What a time wasting machine.. its like people watch a stone drop in 30fps and this machine produce 1000fps, for what ? . The product already mass produce by the 30fps companies, meanwhile this guys still watching their photos.
