SLAC celebrates five days of ultrafast science.
SLAC Celebrates Femtosecond Week
Join us for five days of ultrafast science from April 17 to 21.
New SLAC Theory Institute Aims to Speed Research on Exotic Materials at Light Sources
TIMES applies the power of theory to the search for novel materials with remarkable properties that could revolutionize technology.
Engineers Use Soup Additive to Create a Stretchable Plastic Electrode
Paving the way for flexible electronics, engineers have developed a plastic electrode that stretches like rubber but carries electricity like wires.
Sketching Out Magnetism With Electricity
Using an electric field, researchers drew magnetic designs in nonmagnetic material. These efforts could lead to new types of storage devices.
SLAC Study: Light Can Switch On Topological Materials
Computer simulations by SLAC physicists show how light pulses can create channels that conduct electricity with no resistance in some atomically thin semiconductors.
Researchers Use World's Smallest Diamonds to Make Wires Three Atoms Wide
Scientists at Stanford and SLAC use diamondoids – the smallest possible bits of diamond – to assemble atoms into the thinnest possible electrical wires.
New Tabletop Technique Probes Outermost Electrons of Atoms Deep Inside Solids
SLAC experiments demonstrate a new way to access valence electrons, which are important in forming chemical bonds and determine many of a material’s properties.
