Understanding nature’s process could inform the next generation of artificial photosynthetic systems that produce clean and renewable energy from sunlight and water. Photosystem II is…
Revealing both sides of the story in a single experiment has been a grand scientific challenge. Using a high-speed “electron camera” at the Department of…
Light-driven reactions are at the heart of human vision, photosynthesis and solar power generation. Seeing the very first step opens the door to observing chemical…
Learning how liquid silicates behave at these extreme temperatures and pressures has been a longstanding challenge in the geosciences. Far below the Earth’s surface, about…
The advance opens a path toward a new generation of logic and memory devices that could be 10,000 times faster than today’s. In designing electronic…
New research shows that when a bunch of electrons zooms through the middle of a ring-shaped laser beam, the bunch can wind up with higher…
Just like we orbit the sun and the moon orbits us, the Milky Way has satellite galaxies with their own satellites. Drawing from data on…
Turning a brittle oxide into a flexible membrane and stretching it on a tiny apparatus flipped it from a conducting to an insulating state and…
SLAC scientists and collaborators are developing 3D copper printing techniques to build accelerator components. Imagine being able to manufacture complex devices whenever you want and…
The 1950s and ‘60s poisoning event was long attributed to methylmercury, but studies at SLAC suggest a different compound was to blame. The findings could…
These inexpensive photosensitizers could make solar power and chemical manufacturing more efficient. Experiments at SLAC offer insight into how they work. Photosensitizers are molecules that…
Scientists create new experiment to find neutrinos. One of the greatest mysteries in astrophysics these days is a tiny subatomic particle called a neutrino, so…
Matching up maps of matter and light from the Dark Energy Survey and Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope may help astrophysicists understand what causes a faint…
Stanford researchers build a particle accelerator that fits on a chip, miniaturizing a technology that can now find new applications in research and medicine. Just…
Scientists invent a way to see attosecond electron motions with an X-ray laser. Called XLEAP, the new method developed by SLAC will provide sharp views…
It reveals an abrupt transition in cuprates where particles give up their individuality; the results flip a popular theory on its head. Every character has…
Computer simulations yield a much more accurate picture of these states of matter. Strange metals make interesting bedfellows for a phenomenon known as high-temperature superconductivity,…
