In brief: New round of DOE awards bolsters quantum information science at SLAC
Two projects will look for ways to link individual quantum devices into networks for quantum computing and ultrasensitive detectors.
A new route to carbon-neutral fuels from CO2
SLAC/Stanford scientists and their colleagues find a new way to efficiently convert CO2 into the building block for sustainable liquid fuels.
Plastics, fuels and chemical feedstocks from CO2? They’re working on it.
SUNCAT researchers discover a way to improve a key step in these conversions, and explore what it would take to turn the climate-changing gas into valuable products on an industrial scale.
First report of superconductivity in a nickel oxide material
SLAC and Stanford scientists have made the first nickel oxide material that shows clear signs of superconductivity – the ability to transmit electrical current with no loss.
Coating developed by Stanford, SLAC researchers brings lithium metal battery closer to reality
The coating significantly extends the battery's life and reduces the problems that cause batteries to burst into flames.
Scientists create artificial catalysts inspired by living enzymes
Stanford researchers have made a significant advance in the development of artificial catalysts for making cleaner chemicals and fuels at an industrial scale.
Light dark matter is a thousand times less likely to bump into regular matter than previous astrophysical analyses allowed
SLAC/Stanford study of the population of satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way provides new clues about the particle nature of dark matter.
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.
Scientists make first high-res movies of proteins forming crystals in a living cell
A close-up look at how microbes build their crystalline shells has implications for understanding how cell structures form, preventing disease and developing nanotechnology.
