With the right amount of pressure and surprisingly little heat, a substance found in fossil fuels can transform into pure diamond.

A better understanding of these materials and how they store and transport oil and gas could one day enable more efficient fossil fuel production.

It reveals an abrupt transition in cuprates where particles give up their individuality. The results flip a popular theory on its head.

Called XLEAP, the new method will provide sharp views of electrons in chemical processes that take place in billionths of a billionth of a second and drive crucial aspects of life.

Computer simulations yield a much more accurate picture of these states of matter.

Chemist Ben Ofori-Okai investigates what happens to matter under extreme conditions at microscopic scales to better understand its behavior at massive scales, such as what happens in the Earth’s core.

Molecular movie-making is both an art and a science; the results let us watch how nature works on the smallest scales.

The Hubbard model, used to understand electron behavior in numerous quantum materials, now shows us its stripes, and superconductivity too, in simulations for cuprate superconductors.

Early career award recognizes Mitrano’s work in ultrafast X-ray scattering.

SLAC/Stanford scientists and their colleagues find a new way to efficiently convert CO2 into the building block for sustainable liquid fuels.

Made with ‘Jenga chemistry,’ the discovery could help crack the mystery of how high-temperature superconductors work.

The coating significantly extends the battery's life and reduces the problems that cause batteries to burst into flames.
