Recently developed methods now in use at SLAC’s X-ray synchrotron helped a team of chemists better understand how certain bacteria turn light into chemical...

Islands of inactive lithium creep like worms to reconnect with their electrodes, restoring a battery’s capacity and lifespan.

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.

New research questions ‘whiff of oxygen’ in Earth’s early history.

Presented by Ben Ofori-Okai. Earth’s magnetic field does more than just help us to navigate. It is also used by animals for orientation and...

DESI has already mapped out more galaxies than all previous 3D surveys combined, and it's just getting started.

High-speed X-ray free-electron lasers have unlocked the crystal structures of small molecules relevant to chemistry and materials science, proving a new method that could...

Scientists are exploring a variety of ways to make quantum bits. We may not need to settle on a single one.

A technique from the newest generation of quantum sensors is helping scientists to use the limitations of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle to their advantage.

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

As we step into the quantum age, here are four things to know about quantum networks.

Nine faculty from Stanford and SLAC are among the 564 new Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
