It's finally happened. After extensions and delays, hand wringing and anxiety, the contract between Stanford University and the Department of Energy was signed on...

After 30 years in industry, he is leading a new focus at the lab’s SSRL X-ray light source and looking for ways to build...

Scientists studying laser-plasma proton acceleration made an unexpected breakthrough, simultaneously resolving multiple long-standing problems although they had only aimed to address one. 

As a member of a collaborative team led by General Atomics, SLAC will help bridge basic research programs with the growing fusion industry. 

SSRL scientists have figured out how platinum electrodes dissolve, potentially paving the way for renewable energy improvements.

They discovered the messy environment of a chemical reaction can actually change the shape of a catalytic nanoparticle in a way that makes it...

Their work aims to bridge two approaches to driving the reaction – one powered by heat, the other by electricity – with the goal...

Detailed observations of iridium atoms at work could help make catalysts that drive chemical reactions smaller, cheaper and more efficient.

Scientists precisely control where single-atom catalysts sit on their support structures, and show how changing their position affects their reactivity.

Encapsulating precious-metal catalysts in a web-like alumina framework could reduce the amount needed in catalytic converters – and our dependency on these scarce metals.

Supported by SLAC's catalysis group Co-ACCESS, researchers discover new ways to boost the performance of catalysts that turn carbon dioxide into methanol. 

SLAC researchers help develop an automated analytical method to speed the discovery process in single atom catalysts.
