The SIMES investigator was cited for his singular contributions to quantum materials science.

The results cap 15 years of detective work aimed at understanding how these materials transition into a superconducting state where they can conduct electricity...

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

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

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."

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.

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.
