Topological insulators conduct electricity on their surfaces but not through their interiors. SLAC scientists discovered that high harmonic generation produces a unique signature from...

The Hubbard model, used to understand electron behavior in numerous quantum materials, now shows us its stripes, and superconductivity too, in simulations for cuprate...

A better understanding of this process could inform the next generation of artificial photosynthetic systems that produce clean and renewable energy.

To invent a new tool for studying how chemicals react at interfaces, researchers shoot tiny jets of oil and water at each other and...

A machine learning algorithm automatically extracts information to speed up – and extend – the study of materials with X-ray pulse pairs.

Just as Schroedinger's Cat is both alive and dead, an atom or molecule can be in two different states at once. Now scientists have...

A new study, based on an experiment at SLAC's X-ray laser, pins down a major factor behind the appearance of superconductivity—the ability to conduct...

If it exists, a type of decay called neutrinoless double-beta decay will show that neutrinos are their own antiparticles and can help scientists determine...

Scientists at Genentech and SLAC have watched a key human protein change from a form that protects cells to one that kills them, providing...

The study could help develop ways to safely transport radioactive actinium through the body to target tumor cells.
