Thousands of commuters on I-280 drive over literally the coolest spot in the universe every day where the upgraded Stanford Linear Accelerator requires those freezing temperatures to operate.
the new LCLS-II on the Stanford campus"This is where we take the x-rays and use them for a whole range of different scientific purposes," he said as he headed into the Near Experimental Hall, where the brightest x-rays on Earth end their brief life in detectors of various shapes and sizes.
And so it does, in cryo modules 35 feet underground, where electrons spin up to nearly the speed of light, only to have x-rays throttled out of them toward the end of their nearly two-mile run in the largest building on Earth. It's an exciting time, because the far faster -- meaning, more frequently strobing -- far brighter x-rays will allow scientists to examine chemical reactions down to the molecular level.

Stanford’s upgraded X-ray laser is up and runningThe newly upgraded particle accelerator at the DoE’s Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) has produced its first X-rays. The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) upgrade, called LCLS-II, can emit up to a million X-ray pulses per second (8,000 times more than the original) and an almost continuous beam 10,000 times brighter than its predecessor.

Recent findings indicate that this whole-body response isn’t a side effect: it’s the main feature.
