Partnerships

As QuantISED enters its next phase in its effort to develop quantum technologies capable of exploring some of the universe’s biggest unanswered questions, scientists reflect on what the first round made possible and what comes next.

By adjusting the heating process when making lithium-ion cathodes, the team created batteries that retained nearly 93% of their energy after 500 cycles. 

Rubin’s largest asteroid haul yet, gathered before the Legacy Survey of Space and Time even begins, is just the “tip of the iceberg.”

Researchers reveal why trace amounts of alloy added to some catalysts keep them performing better over time. The study suggests models that could boost manufacturing.

Salleo sees strength in the big picture and minute details of the people, tools and partnerships at SLAC.

Researchers at SLAC are developing experimental techniques to evaluate new candidates for inertial fusion energy targets. 

SLAC and Stanford partner with Argonne National Laboratory and others toward a quantum-interconnected world.

Results obtained with SLAC’s X-ray laser show how tiny magnetic coils can align over a surprisingly broad timescale, inspiring new ideas for microelectronics. 

Ultrafast electrons at SLAC’s LCLS facility resolved the structural changes in a light-activated molecule to determine which simulations work best. 

He met with SLAC staff and toured the lab’s cutting-edge facilities, diving into world-leading research in X-ray and ultrafast science, artificial intelligence, astrophysics and more.

In this Q&A, Arianna Gleason discusses the technologies needed to make commercialized fusion energy a reality and how SLAC is advancing this energy frontier. 

As a member of a collaborative team led by General Atomics, SLAC will help bridge basic research programs with the growing fusion industry.
