They saw how the material finds a path to contorting and flexing to avoid being irreversibly crushed.

One of 17 national laboratories supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, SLAC is also marking its 60th anniversary this year.

Under his 10-year leadership, the lab has significantly expanded its research and impact.

The award celebrates Huang’s achievements studying atom-scale physics with fast X-ray pulses.

Quantum sensing uses quantum phenomena to detect extremely subtle signals or changes that are beyond the reach of many traditional sensors.

Superconducting quantum bits, or qubits, are at the heart of many quantum computers, acting like supercharged versions of the traditional bits found in classical...

Quantum materials behave in unexpected ways compared to the classical materials we are used to. 

The technology could save the lives of COVID-19 patients when more advanced ventilators are too expensive or not available.

Quantum networking is the framework that uses the strange properties of quantum mechanics to transmit quantum information, encoded in qubits, from one quantum device...

One-quintillionth of a second lasing breakthrough could lead to next-generation X-ray technologies, improving imaging in medical, material, and quantum science.

He was honored for his work in ultrafast physics.

SLAC and Stanford scientists uncovered a quantum spin liquid, a state of matter that may have applications for quantum information.
