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

Just as pressing a guitar string produces a higher pitch, sending laser light through a material can shift it to higher energies and higher...

Stanford EM-X brings hundreds of researchers around the world together to discuss the latest methods and discoveries from electron microscopes.

Scientists get dramatically better resolution at X-ray free-electron lasers with a new technique.

When upgrades to the X-ray laser at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory are complete, the powerful new machine will capture up...

A better understanding of the failure process will help researchers design new materials that can better withstand intense events such as high-velocity impacts.

Presented by Caterina Vernieri. The Higgs boson was discovered in 2012 at the world’s most powerful particle collider, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in...

The latest advance from a research collaboration with industry could dramatically accelerate the development of sturdier batteries for fast-charging electric vehicles.

Overseeing the safe disposal of chemicals and waste at SLAC has turned into an environmental mission for Yolanda Pilastro.

This new understanding could aid the development of more efficient clean energy sources.

Scientists have documented a process that makes these next-gen batteries lose charge – and eventually some of their capacity for storing energy – even...

The results have important implications for today’s TV and display screens and for future technologies where light takes the place of electrons and fluids.
