Researchers are using powerful synchrotron-based X-rays to peer inside lithium-ion batteries while they operate. Understanding how batteries function – and what causes them to eventually fail – will help scientists design the next generation of battery technologies.

A new battery design harnesses waste heat in a four-step process: heating, charging, cooling and discharging.

The Department of Energy has awarded two Stanford scientists funding through the agency’s Early Career Research Program.

By finding surprising similarities in the way immune system defenders bind to disease-causing invaders, a new study may help scientists develop new treatments.

The Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel’s report, released today, recommends a strategic path forward for US particle physics.

Physicist Rick Field discusses physics, Hollywood and a recent appearance by his sister, actress Sally Field, on the Late Show with David Letterman.

US scientists collaborated with an international team to install a new component in the core of the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider.

Researchers from Oxford, SIMES and Berkeley Lab say cadmium arsenide could yield practical devices with the same extraordinary electronic properties as 2-D graphene.

After working with particle accelerators his entire professional career, Heather Rock Woods’ father placed himself in the path of a beam to fight cancer.

Differences between two types of black-hole-powered galaxies may reflect a change in how the galaxies extract energy from their central black holes.

If it exists, a type of decay called neutrinoless double-beta decay will show that neutrinos are their own antiparticles and can help scientists determine their masses.

A sensor design first envisioned in 1995 by physicists and engineers at SLAC plays a starring role in a major ATLAS detector upgrade at the Large Hadron Collider.
