ALS - Advanced Light Source

A World of Vibe Coding Opportunities at the ALS

In April 2026, a panel of vibe coders hosted a tutorial at the ALS. From a general overview to specific strategies to optimize the code, participants learned all about how vibe coding can improve their workflows. Read more »

Seeing Double: Dual Measurements of Ceria Provide Insights for Catalysis

In a recent study at the ALS, researchers employed an approach that combines two techniques and uses a single X-ray beam to capture both chemical and structural changes in nanopatterned ceria during catalytic reactions. Read more »

ALS-United: Changchun Sun and Jonah Weber

ALS-United is an opportunity to meet the people collaborating at the Advanced Light Source and the ALS Upgrade Project. Hear firsthand how team science enables the cutting-edge research of today and builds the facility of the future. This month, we spoke with Changchun Sun (Staff Scientists/Engineer) and Jonah Weber (Electronics Engineer). Read more »

Poster Session for Spring 2025 Cohort of ALS Fellows

On the sunny afternoon of April 23, the ALS community gathered to celebrate a year of excellent science from the ALS fellows. The Spring 2025 Cohort presented their posters, and everyone enjoyed cake on the patio. Read more »
