Ying Diao, a postdoctoral researcher who brought key innovations to a printing technique for flexible electronics and solar panels, will receive an award for her X-ray studies at SLAC.
SLAC Secures Role in Energy Frontier Research Center Focused on Next-generation Materials
SLAC will play a key role in a DOE-funded research consortium that seeks out new materials for next-generation solar panels, low-energy lighting and other uses.
SLAC Partners with Small Businesses to Put Technology to Good Use
Researchers at SLAC collaborate with small businesses to develop technology so it can benefit the world at large.
Bringing High-energy X-rays into Better Focus
SLAC scientists have developed a new way to manufacture nanostructures, including precise focusing devices for X-rays.
New Platinum Alloy Shows Promise as Fuel Cell Catalyst
Scientists at SLAC and in Denmark have developed an alternative fuel cell catalyst that’s five times more active than pure platinum and uses much less of the expensive metal.
Scientists Take First Dip into Water’s Mysterious ‘No Man’s Land’
Scientists at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have made the first structural observations of liquid water at temperatures down to minus 51 degrees Fahrenheit, within an elusive “no man’s land” where water’s strange properties are super-amplified.
A New Way to Create Compact Light Sources
SLAC scientists have found a new way to produce bright pulses of light from accelerated electrons that could shrink "light source" technology used around the world since the 1970s to examine details of atoms and chemical reactions
Stanford Researchers Discover Immune System’s Rules of Engagement
By finding surprising similarities in the way immune system defenders bind to disease-causing invaders, a new study may help scientists develop new treatments.
Fighting Ebola Virus Disease: 'Transformer' Protein Provides New Insights
Researchers have discovered that an Ebola virus protein can transform into three distinct structures with different functions. This rather uncommon property provides new clues for the development of potential drugs for deadly hemorrhagic fever.
Exploring Heat and Energy at the Smallest Scales
In a recent experiment at SLAC's Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource, scientists "tickled" atoms to explore the flow of heat and energy across materials at ultrasmall scales.
