Supported by SLAC’s catalysis group, researchers have discovered a promising method to remove contaminants during the making of polymers.

Public lecture presented by Jocelyn Richardson

An associate scientist at SSRL, Richardson studies plant growth to find ways to enhance nutrient uptake in plants, especially in challenging conditions – such as higher temperatures, drought, and intense precipitation events – brought about by climate change.

Harnessing nuclear fusion would bring the clean, unlimited energy of the stars to Earth.

Learn more about how materials chemist and SLAC Associate Scientist Molleigh Preefer uses the powerful X-rays of SLAC’s synchrotron to watch battery charging cycles and innovate new battery materials.

A materials chemist and SLAC associate scientist, Preefer is excited about the synergies being sparked at the SLAC-Stanford Battery Center. 

Christopher J. Tassone, PhD provides an overview of the research that SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory performed as part of the Bio-Optimized Technologies to keep Thermoplastics out of Landfills and the Environment (BOTTLETM) consortium.

The method could lead to the development of new materials with tailored properties, with potential applications in fields such as climate change, quantum computing and drug design.

The SLAC/Stanford researcher is a leading materials scientist and entrepreneur whose research is paving the way for better batteries, cleaner power grids.

SLAC is taking part in a multi-institutional effort to help reach net-zero carbon emissions goals in difficult-to-electrify industries.

Following the NIF ignition demonstrations, the prospect of developing a fusion energy source using lasers looks brighter than ever.
