A team led by chemists at Stanford University and SLAC has unraveled a longstanding mystery that brings them one step closer to a cleaner, more energy-efficient way to make methanol, an important industrial chemical used in products such as paints...

The goal of the DuraMat consortium is to make solar modules last longer, and thus drive down the cost of solar energy.

A ‘nonlinear’ phenomenon that seemingly turns materials transparent is seen for the first time in X-rays at SLAC’s Linac Coherent Light Source.

The White House announced $50 million in funding for ‘Battery500’, a five year effort, as part of a package of initiatives to accelerate adoption of electric vehicles in the U.S.

Now the startup, Lumeras LLC, has a viable commercial product, and scientists have a new tool for studying the behavior of complex materials.

Yi Cui and colleagues have developed new ways to improve hydrogen production and rechargeable zinc batteries.

Taken at SLAC, microscopic footage of exploding liquids will give researchers more control over experiments at X-ray lasers.

Many technologies rely upon nanomaterials that can absorb or release atoms quickly and repeatedly. New work provides a first look inside these phase-changing nanoparticles.

Adding pressure could improve the performance of solar cells made of perovskites, a promising photovoltaic material.

Scientists have used X-rays to observe exactly how silver electrical contacts form during manufacturing of solar modules.

Wrapping silicon anode particles in custom-fit graphene cages could solve two major obstacles to using silicon in high-capacity lithium ion batteries.

SLAC and Stanford scientists discovered that a single layer of tiny diamonds increases an electron gun’s emission 13,000 fold. Potential applications include electron microscopes and semiconductor manufacturing.
