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 close-up look at how microbes build their crystalline shells has implications for understanding how cell structures form, preventing disease and developing nanotechnology.

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.

What they learned could help manufacturers design more reliable and longer-lasting batteries for smartphones and cars.

For mechanical engineer Sarah Edwards, SSRL is the ultimate classic car.

X-rays reveal an extinct mouse was dressed in brown to reddish fur on its back and sides and had a tiny white tummy.

Researchers produced an underwater sound with an intensity that eclipses that of a rocket launch while investigating what happens when they blast tiny jets of water with X-ray laser pulses.

Monika Schleier-Smith and Kent Irwin explain how their projects in quantum information science could help us better understand black holes and dark matter.

A laser technique lets researchers see how potentially dangerous growths form in batteries.

Both are professors at Stanford and SLAC, where Martinez is an investigator with the Stanford PULSE Institute.

A better understanding of how these receptors work could enable scientists to design better therapeutics for sleep disorders, cancer and Type 2 diabetes.

Scientists precisely control where single-atom catalysts sit on their support structures, and show how changing their position affects their reactivity.
