Visitors to SLAC tour the accelerator control room during Community Day 2019.

Perovskites’ unusual response to light could explain the high efficiency of these next-generation solar cell materials.

When light drives electron transfer in a molecular complex, the surrounding solvent molecules also rapidly move.

Lydia-Marie Joubert is pointing at the result of laminating an organic sample down to 100-300nm thickness for cryo-EM imaging. For samples which are traditionally too thick for imaging via cryogenic electron tomography (cryo-ET), a focused ion beam (FIB) can be...

Studying a material that even more closely resembles the composition of ice giants, researchers found that oxygen boosts the formation of diamond rain.  The team also found evidence that, in combination with the diamonds, a recently discovered phase of water...
