Known as “pair-density waves,” it may be key to understanding how superconductivity can exist at relatively high temperatures.

Two groups of researchers drew on SLAC tools to better understand how to target a key part of the virus that causes COVID-19.

SSRL and LCLS scientists will help visiting research teams solve their experimental challenges, then apply what they’ve learned to help others work more efficiently.

This new understanding could aid the development of more efficient clean energy sources.

A better understanding of the failure process will help researchers design new materials that can better withstand intense events such as high-velocity impacts.

A promising lead halide perovskite is great at converting sunlight to electricity, but it breaks down at room temperature. Now scientists have discovered how to stabilize it with pressure from a diamond anvil cell.

G6PD deficiency affects about 400M people worldwide and can pose serious health risks. Uncovering the causes of the most severe cases could finally lead to treatments.

These fleeting disruptions, seen for the first time in lead hybrid perovskites, may help explain why these materials are exceptionally good at turning sunlight into electrical current in solar cells.

Most new materials are discovered near the proverbial shore. Now, scientists deploy artificial intelligence and high-throughput experimental techniques to search previously uncharted waters to find revolutionary new materials.
