DOE-funded Program Benefits Companies, the Lab and Society

The Department of Energy has awarded two Stanford scientists funding through the agency’s Early Career Research Program.

SLAC particle theorist Lance Dixon has been named co-winner of the 2014 J.J. Sakurai Prize for Theoretical Particle Physics, awarded each year by the American Physical Society.

Scientists at SLAC have found a new method to create coherent beams of twisted light – light that spirals around a central axis as it travels.

SLAC and Stanford will join a team that will receive $120 million from the DOE to establish a new batteries and energy storage hub – the Joint Center for Energy Storage Research (JCESR).

In 1971, physicist Burton Richter of Stanford Linear Accelerator Center was building a new type of particle collider called a storage ring.
