Using SLAC’s X-ray synchrotron SSRL, Wang improves fundamental knowledge about how cells communicate, which could enable the development of more effective drugs.

SUNCAT researchers discover a way to improve a key step in these conversions, and explore what it would take to turn the climate-changing gas into valuable products on an industrial scale.

Made with ‘Jenga chemistry,’ the discovery could help crack the mystery of how high-temperature superconductors work.

The coating significantly extends the battery's life and reduces the problems that cause batteries to burst into flames.

The studies could lead to a new understanding of how high-temperature superconductors operate.

This early-career scientist has undertaken challenging projects with significant implications for lithium-ion batteries.

Maria Elena Monzani prepares an international team to search for clues to one of the biggest scientific mysteries.

The technique can be used to study molecular phenomena and the forming and breaking of chemical bonds.

A new twist on cryo-EM imaging reveals what’s going on inside MOFs, highly porous nanoparticles with big potential for storing fuel, separating gases and removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

A close-up look at how microbes build their crystalline shells has implications for understanding how cell structures form, preventing disease and developing nanotechnology.

Experiments at SLAC’s X-ray laser reveal in atomic detail how two distinct liquid phases in these materials enable fast switching between glassy and crystalline states that represent 0s and 1s in memory devices.

What they learned could help manufacturers design more reliable and longer-lasting batteries for smartphones and cars.
