Presented by Yijin Liu. In batteries, energy is stored in tiny particles within the electrodes that individually breathe in and out and chemically evolve as the battery is charged and discharged.

A cellphone-sized device automatically adjusts a home's power use up or down to save the consumer money and increase the resiliency of the electric grid.

How quickly a battery electrode decays depends on properties of individual particles in the battery – at first. Later on, the network of particles matters more.

Gustavo Cezar wears two colorful hats as an engineer with SLAC’s GISMo lab.

Researchers discover they contain a phase of quantum matter, known as charge density waves, that’s common in other unconventional superconductors. In other ways, though, they’re surprisingly unique.

The Hubbard Model was unable to predict electron dynamics in a simplified, one-dimensional cuprate system, hinting at an additional attractive force. 

SLAC, Stanford researchers estimate that reducing harmful chemical emissions could cut cancer risks from smoke exposure by over 50%.

During her fellowship she will continue research that aims to deepen our understanding of quantum materials.

The SLAC/Stanford researcher is a leading materials scientist and entrepreneur whose research is paving the way for better batteries, cleaner power grids.

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

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. 

An energy systems engineer, Cezar helps bridge advanced energy research and applications.
