Using SLAC’s X-ray synchrotron SSRL, Cao improves fundamental knowledge about how a new lithium-ion battery material works, which will help enable safer, longer-lasting devices.

Seen in atomic detail, the seemingly smooth flow of ions through a battery’s electrolyte is a lot more complicated.

Researchers are searching for a quantum theory of gravity that could help answer fundamental questions about the universe, from the very first moments after...

The medal, which recognizes distinguished physicists for outstanding statesmanship in science, honors Quinn for her work in science education.

SLAC postdoctoral scholars recently participated in Tech Trek program to engage in a lively discussion with middle-schoolers.

The early career award from SLAC’s X-ray laser recognizes Kjaer’s work in ultrafast X-ray science.

He’s known for exploring fundamental properties of novel materials on the nanoscale, and for developing new tools for the exploration.
