SLAC makes ‘electron camera,’ a world-class tool for ultrafast science, available to scientists worldwide
Combined with the lab’s LCLS X-ray laser, it’ll provide unprecedented atomic views of some of nature’s speediest processes.
First snapshots of trapped CO2 molecules shed new light on carbon capture
A new twist on cryo-EM imaging reveals what’s going on inside MOFs, highly porous nanoparticles with big potential for storing fuel, separating gases and removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
A quick liquid flip helps explain how morphing materials store information
Experiments at SLAC’s X-ray laser reveal in atomic detail how two distinct liquid phases in these materials enable fast switching between glassy and crystalline states that represent 0s and 1s in memory devices.
In brief: Probing battery hotspots for safer energy storage
A laser technique lets researchers see how potentially dangerous growths form in batteries.
Todd Martinez and William Weis elected to National Academy of Sciences
Both are professors at Stanford and SLAC, where Martinez is an investigator with the Stanford PULSE Institute.
SLAC’s high-speed ‘electron camera’ films molecular movie in HD
First direct look at how atoms move when a ring-shaped molecule breaks apart could boost our understanding of fundamental processes of life.
David Reis named head of PULSE Institute for ultrafast science
He helped lay the groundwork for SLAC’s LCLS X-ray laser and for the institute, which was founded to explore the science LCLS would enable.
Ghostly X-ray images could provide key info for analyzing X-ray laser experiments
SLAC researchers say their new method could make it easier to study interactions of ultrabright X-rays with matter.
A new way to watch atoms move in a single atomic sheet
X-ray laser snapshots give scientists a new tool for probing trillionths-of-a-second atomic motions in 2-D materials
Q-FARM initiative to bolster quantum research at Stanford-SLAC
