These inexpensive photosensitizers could make solar power and chemical manufacturing more efficient. Experiments at SLAC offer insight into how they work.

In regions that lack the resources to treat the contaminated water, it can lead to disease, cancer, and even death.

What they learned could lead to a better understanding of how ionizing radiation can damage material systems, including cells.

What they learned could lead to a better understanding of how antibiotics are broken down in the body, potentially leading to the development of more effective drugs.

A better understanding of these materials and how they store and transport oil and gas could one day enable more efficient fossil fuel production.

Called XLEAP, the new method will provide sharp views of electrons in chemical processes that take place in billionths of a billionth of a second and drive crucial aspects of life.

Chemist Ben Ofori-Okai investigates what happens to matter under extreme conditions at microscopic scales to better understand its behavior at massive scales, such as what happens in the Earth’s core.

A study including SLAC scientists and facilities discovers a new process that shows promise in turning the greenhouse gas back into usable fuels.

Replacing today’s expensive catalysts could bring down the cost of producing the gas for fuel, fertilizer and clean energy storage.

Molecular movie-making is both an art and a science; the results let us watch how nature works on the smallest scales.

A new study shows how soccer ball-shaped molecules burst more slowly than expected when blasted with an X-ray laser beam.

SLAC/Stanford scientists and their colleagues find a new way to efficiently convert CO2 into the building block for sustainable liquid fuels.
