SLAC’s ultrafast “electron camera” reveals unusual atomic motions that could be crucial for the efficiency of next-generation perovskite solar cells.

The research team was able to watch energy from light flow through atomic ripples in a molecule. Such insights may provide new ways to develop a class of materials that improve efficiency and reduce the size of applications like solar...

Extraordinarily precise measurements -- within millionths of a billionth of a second and a billionth of a hair's breadth -- show this ‘electron-phonon coupling’ can be far stronger than predicted, and could potentially play a role in unconventional superconductivity.

The award recognizes the Stanford/SLAC professor’s pioneering work in the fields of energy and nanomaterials science.

An international team of researchers fabricated an atomically thin material and measured its exotic and durable properties that make it a promising candidate for a budding branch of electronics known as “spintronics.”

Propagating “charge density wave” fluctuations are seen in superconducting copper oxides for the first time.

Researchers at SLAC are already looking at the largely unexplored realm of attosecond science.

Aaron Lindenberg, associate professor at Stanford and SLAC, talks about how he combines X-ray and electron techniques to understand and engineer novel materials.

Explore the fourth dimension, from processes that occur in billions of years down to tiny slivers of a second.

Ryan Coffee, scientist at the Linac Coherent Light Source, explains in a video interview.

Physicist Phil Bucksbaum gives a brief introduction to Femtosecond Week at SLAC.
