The results offer important implications for astrophysics and nuclear fusion research.

After decades of effort, scientists have finally seen the process by which nature creates the oxygen we breathe using SLAC’s X-ray laser.

New SLAC-Stanford Battery Center bridges the gaps between discovering, manufacturing and deploying innovative energy storage solutions. 

The SLAC-Stanford team pulled hydrogen directly from ocean waters. Their work could help efforts to generate low-carbon fuel for electric grids, cars, boats and other infrastructure.

SLAC researcher Sadasivan Shankar talks about a new environmental effort starting at the lab – building a roadmap that will help researchers improve the energy efficiency of computing, from devices like cellphones to artificial intelligence.

This ‘beautiful’ herringbone-like pattern could give rise to unique features that scientists are just starting to explore.

Experiments visualize how 2D perovskite structures change when excited.

The SIMES investigator was cited for his singular contributions to quantum materials science.

Two GEM Fellows reflect on their summer internships at SLAC and share their thoughts on representation and mentorship.

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

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

Waves of magnetic excitation sweep through this exciting new material whether it’s in superconducting mode or not – another possible clue to how unconventional superconductors carry electric current with no loss.
