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

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.

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.

Researchers discover they contain a phase of quantum matter, known as charge density waves, that’s common in other unconventional superconductors. In other ways, though, they’re surprisingly unique.

It’s a significant step in understanding these whirling quasiparticles and putting them to work in future semiconductor technologies.

SLAC’s Matt Garrett and Susan Simpkins talk about tech transfer that brings innovations from the national lab to the people, including advances for medical devices and self-driving vehicles.

X-ray laser experiments show that intense light distorts the structure of a thermoelectric material in a unique way, opening a new avenue for controlling the properties of materials.

The results cap 15 years of detective work aimed at understanding how these materials transition into a superconducting state where they can conduct electricity with no loss.
