The medal, which recognizes distinguished physicists for outstanding statesmanship in science, honors Quinn for her work in science education.

It’s not easy being clean.

SLAC, Stanford scientists discover that bombarding and stretching a catalyst opens holes on its surface and makes it much more reactive. Potential applications include making hydrogen fuel.

Matter and antimatter behave differently. Scientists hope that investigating how might someday explain why we exist.

SIMES scientists have discovered how to make the electrical wiring on top of solar cells nearly invisible to incoming light. The new design, which uses silicon nanopillars to hide the wires, could dramatically boost solar-cell efficiency.

Scientists don’t yet know what dark matter is made of, but they are full of ideas.

View photos of upgrades and new equipment at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) that will enable scientists to study photosynthesis, superconductors and other fields of research.

Researchers at SLAC have found a simple new way to study very delicate biological samples – like proteins at work in photosynthesis and components of protein-making machines called ribosomes – at the atomic scale using SLAC's X-ray laser.

SLAC and Stanford scientists discovered that a single layer of tiny diamonds increases an electron gun’s emission 13,000 fold. Potential applications include electron microscopes and semiconductor manufacturing.

To learn more about the particles they collide, physicists turn their attention to a less destructive type of collision in the LHC.

Scientists have successfully tested the first prototype camera for the Cherenkov Telescope Array.

Dark matter hunters of the LUX collaboration have ruled out a larger-than-ever range of properties that hypothetical dark matter particles might have had.
