SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, a state-owned entity headquartered in Menlo Park, California, United States, was founded in 1962 and operates as a federally funded research and development center, originally named the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center.
An AI scientist capable of autonomously running X-ray experiments and adjusting as needed, developed with Northeastern researchers, could pave the way for self-driving laboratories. Previously, on July 30, 2026, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, alongside Sandia National Laboratories, spearheaded the new COMPASS program. This initiative, funded by the Department of Energy’s Office of Technology Commercialization (OTC), aims to bridge the gap between federally-funded inventions from national labs and their commercialization by collaborating with investors and entrepreneurs. Earlier in July, on the 24th, SLAC and Stanford University announced they would lead several AI projects under the U.S. Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission, focusing on using artificial intelligence to accelerate research in clean energy, biology, and other scientific fields by developing tools to run experiments faster.
