The results have important implications for today’s TV and display screens and for future technologies where light takes the place of electrons and fluids.

It can help operators optimize the performance of X-ray lasers, electron microscopes, medical accelerators and other devices that depend on high-quality beams.

Scientists have documented a process that makes these next-gen batteries lose charge – and eventually some of their capacity for storing energy – even when a device is turned off.

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

The latest advance from a research collaboration with industry could dramatically accelerate the development of sturdier batteries for fast-charging electric vehicles.

Overseeing the safe disposal of chemicals and waste at SLAC has turned into an environmental mission for Yolanda Pilastro.

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

When upgrades to the X-ray laser at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory are complete, the powerful new machine will capture up to 1 terabyte of data per second; that’s a data rate equivalent to streaming about one...

The pandemic forced major changes to the format, but 30 teams from 22 schools still came together online to vie for a slot at nationals.

Scientists get dramatically better resolution at X-ray free-electron lasers with a new technique.
