Jolting complex materials with bursts of energy from rapid-fire lasers can help scientists learn why some of these materials exhibit useful properties such as high-temperature superconductivity.

The results are an important step in designing these solid-state devices for computer memories that would operate much faster, last longer and use less energy than today’s flash memory.

From 'Hollow' Atoms to Structures Inside Living Cells, SLAC's Laser Continues to Explore Science at the Extremes

Water is more complicated than it seems. Now a study led by researchers at Stockholm University has probed the movements of its molecules on a timescale of millionths of a billionth of a second.

Two dark matter hunters with decades of experience between them are turning SLAC into their base of operations for LZ, the next big dark matter search.

SIMES Researcher Developed Innovative Printing Process

With SLAC's Linac Coherent Light Source X-ray laser, timing is everything. Its pulses are designed to explore atomic-scale processes that are measured in femtoseconds, or quadrillionths of a second.

Two new research projects support the Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Sciences in the study of exotic new materials that could enable future innovative electronic and photonic applications.

A new paper describes a way to fabricate glasses that can correct X-ray focusing problems at synchrotrons and X-ray lasers.

Scientists working at SLAC have for the first time directly observed a phenomenon that allows magnetic waves to travel a long distance with no resistance.

Researchers at SLAC have for the first time seen a spin current – an inherent magnetic property common to all electrons – as it travels across materials.
