An interdisciplinary team has developed a way to track how particles charge and discharge at the nanoscale, an advance that will lead to better batteries for all sorts of mobile applications.

Scientists are using plasma to create electronic sensors that will track the health of astronauts.

Now the startup, Lumeras LLC, has a viable commercial product, and scientists have a new tool for studying the behavior of complex materials.

What’s the difference between a synchrotron and a cyclotron, anyway?

Four Stanford students receive funding for work on novel accelerators and beams for SLAC's X-ray laser.

Science-interested teens spent a week at the lab learning more about STEM at the inaugural Greene Scholars Program Summer Science Institute at SLAC.

Yi Cui and colleagues have developed new ways to improve hydrogen production and rechargeable zinc batteries.

Project Poltergeist led to the discovery of the ghostly particle.

The results are an important step in designing these solid-state devices for computer memories that would operate much faster, last longer and use less energy than today’s flash memory.

A SLAC/Stanford study opens a new path to producing laser pulses that are just billionths of a billionth of a second long by inducing ‘high harmonic generation’ in a solid.

Quantum physics says everything is made of particles, but what does that actually mean?
