From our kitchens to our clothes to the delivery of medicines, plastics play an indispensable role in our daily lives. But, the end-life of these plastics is not always taken into account. Few types of plastics can be readily recycled...
Modern particle accelerator control rooms are like busy air traffic control centers, where skilled operators juggle hundreds of interconnected and time-sensitive tasks to generate and shape high-energy particle beams. Control room tasks are increasingly performed with the support of AI...

Driven by curiosity about nature, SLAC researcher Shannon Harvey develops quantum dots, a mass-producible type of qubit, as part of the Q-NEXT collaboration.
A new program led by SLAC and Sandia national laboratories connects investors and entrepreneurs with Department of Energy scientists to launch startups in key technology areas.
Batteries power everything from medical devices to electronic devices, yet the core technology hasn't fundamentally changed in decades. At the SLAC-Stanford Battery Center, scientists are working with industry to change that.
SLAC and Stanford researchers found that compressing solid-state battery material reduced the formation of lithium-filled cracks called dendrites, leading to faster charging and longer battery life.
Explore how SLAC advances energy research, partnering with Stanford University, the U.S. Department of Energy and industry, to help create a more reliable, affordable and sustainable energy future.
