Charging lithium-ion batteries at high currents just before they leave the factory is 30 times faster and increases battery lifespans by 50%, according to a study at the SLAC-Stanford Battery Center. 

New results from the world’s most sensitive dark matter detector put the best-ever limits on particles called WIMPs, a leading candidate for what makes up our universe’s invisible mass.

Their method provides a new tool to study electron-electron interactions, which are fundamental to many technologies, including semiconductors and solar cells.

A materials chemist and SLAC associate scientist, Preefer is excited about the synergies being sparked at the SLAC-Stanford Battery Center. 

The finding could help future efforts to design superconductors that work at higher temperatures.

His wide-ranging curiosity, original way of looking at problems and sheer joy in solving them drove many important contributions to particle physics. 

An X-ray imaging technique revealed that copper nanofoams used in inertial fusion experiments aren't as uniform as expected.

The 3.5-meter  glass mirror is the first permanent component of the Simonyi Survey Telescope's  state-of-the-art, wide-field optical system to be installed and will soon contribute to a better understanding of our Universe.

For the 9th year in a row, the CORE Science Institute brought underrepresented youth to the lab for a weeklong summer science program that engages students in hands-on projects and cultivates a sense of belonging in science and engineering.

Scientists demonstrated a materials characterization technique can be successful at a new type of facility, and they used it at LCLS to discover a hidden materials phase.
