Stanford Institute for Materials & Energy Sciences (SIMES)

By observing how hydrogen is absorbed into individual palladium nanocubes, Stanford materials scientists have detailed a key step in storing energy and information in nanomaterials.

  Scientists Craft Two Exotic Forms of Carbon into a Molecule for Steering Electron Flow

Lee comes from MIT, where his team recently discovered a fundamentally new type of magnetic behavior in a mineral called herbertsmithite.

SIMES Researcher Developed Innovative Printing Process

Researchers have taken a big step toward accomplishing what battery designers have been trying to do for decades – design a pure lithium anode.

Sulfur Cathode Experiments Test Chemistry Beyond Conventional Lithium-Ion

Using high-brilliance X-rays, researchers track the process that fuel cells use to produce electricity, knowledge that will help make large-scale

Researchers from Oxford, SIMES and Berkeley Lab say cadmium arsenide could yield practical devices with the same extraordinary electronic properties as 2-D graphene.

A new battery design harnesses waste heat in a four-step process: heating, charging, cooling and discharging.

In a recent experiment at SLAC's Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource, scientists "tickled" atoms to explore the flow of heat and energy across materials at ultrasmall scales.

SLAC-led researchers have made the first direct measurements of a small, extremely rapid atomic rearrangement that dramatically changes the properties of many important materials.

Scientists at SLAC and Stanford show how high-temperature superconductivity emerges out of magnetism in an iron pnictide, a class of materials with great potential for making devices that conduct electricity with 100 percent efficiency.
