A better understanding of these materials and how they store and transport oil and gas could one day enable more efficient fossil fuel production.

Using SLAC’s X-ray synchrotron SSRL, Wang improves fundamental knowledge about how cells communicate, which could enable the development of more effective drugs.

This early-career scientist has undertaken challenging projects with significant implications for lithium-ion batteries.

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.
