SLAC+Stanford

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

Discovered at SLAC and Stanford, this new class of unconventional superconductors is starting to give up its secrets – including a surprising 3D metallic state.

Just as engineers once compressed some of the power of room-sized mainframes into desktop PCs, so too have the researchers shown how to pack some of the punch delivered by today’s ginormous particle accelerators onto a tiny silicon chip.

A new understanding of the nucleation process could shed light on how the shells help microbes interact with their environments, and help people design self-assembling nanostructures for various tasks.

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

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

His work aims to deepen our understanding of dark matter, dark energy and other secrets of the universe.

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument begins final testing, setting the stage for a 5-year survey that will analyze the light of 35 million galaxies.

A study including SLAC scientists and facilities discovers a new process that shows promise in turning the greenhouse gas back into usable fuels.

Replacing today’s expensive catalysts could bring down the cost of producing the gas for fuel, fertilizer and clean energy storage.

After meeting at a party, a Stanford psychologist and SLAC particle physicists have collaborated on a new kind of EEG device that can stimulate the brain and read out the effects.

Early-career physicist Jonathan LeyVa helps build one of the world’s most sensitive dark matter detectors.
