Materials science

Aaron Lindenberg, associate professor at Stanford and SLAC, talks about how he combines X-ray and electron techniques to understand and engineer novel materials.

Explore the fourth dimension, from processes that occur in billions of years down to tiny slivers of a second.

Ryan Coffee, scientist at the Linac Coherent Light Source, explains in a video interview.

Physicist Phil Bucksbaum gives a brief introduction to Femtosecond Week at SLAC.

SLAC celebrates five days of ultrafast science.

Join us for five days of ultrafast science from April 17 to 21.

TIMES applies the power of theory to the search for novel materials with remarkable properties that could revolutionize technology.

Paving the way for flexible electronics, engineers have developed a plastic electrode that stretches like rubber but carries electricity like wires.

Using an electric field, researchers drew magnetic designs in nonmagnetic material. These efforts could lead to new types of storage devices.

Computer simulations by SLAC physicists show how light pulses can create channels that conduct electricity with no resistance in some atomically thin semiconductors.

Scientists at Stanford and SLAC use diamondoids – the smallest possible bits of diamond – to assemble atoms into the thinnest possible electrical wires.

SLAC experiments demonstrate a new way to access valence electrons, which are important in forming chemical bonds and determine many of a material’s properties.
