Presented by Sila Kiliccote. The grid that transmits our electrical power needs a radical transformation.  The structure of the grid has not changed fundamentally...

The facility, LCLS-II, will soon sharpen our view of how nature works on ultrasmall, ultrafast scales, impacting everything from quantum devices to clean energy.

SLAC and Stanford's Yi Cui leads the quest to build more energetic batteries. For SSRL's involvement, read the sidebar "Batteries: An Inside Story."

SLAC’s Matt Garrett and Susan Simpkins talk about tech transfer that brings innovations from the national lab to the people, including advances for medical...

Cryo-EM snapshots of the solid-electrolyte interphase, or SEI, reveal its natural swollen state and offer a new approach to lithium-metal battery design.

Teaching machine learning the basics of accelerator physics is particularly useful in situations where actual data don’t exist.

Strongly interacting electrons in quantum materials carry heat and charge in a way that’s surprisingly similar to what individual electrons do in normal metals...

The team reduced the amount of expensive platinum group metals needed to make an effective cell and found a new way to test future...

The American Physical Society recognized the SLAC and Stanford physicist for decades of groundbreaking work studying the strange behavior of electrons at the interfaces...

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...

Stanford graduate student Zhi Wei Seh shows how he prepares prototype batteries in SLAC's energy storage laboratory.
