SLAC scientists are among the researchers to receive funding to advance solar cells, batteries, renewable fuels and bioenergy.

Rapid Charging and Draining Doesn’t Damage Lithium Ion Electrode as Much as Thought

By observing how hydrogen is absorbed into individual palladium nanocubes, Stanford materials scientists have detailed a key step in storing energy and information in nanomaterials.

  Scientists Craft Two Exotic Forms of Carbon into a Molecule for Steering Electron Flow

Lee comes from MIT, where his team recently discovered a fundamentally new type of magnetic behavior in a mineral called herbertsmithite.

SIMES Researcher Developed Innovative Printing Process

Researchers have taken a big step toward accomplishing what battery designers have been trying to do for decades – design a pure lithium anode.

Sulfur Cathode Experiments Test Chemistry Beyond Conventional Lithium-Ion

Using high-brilliance X-rays, researchers track the process that fuel cells use to produce electricity, knowledge that will help make large-scale

Researchers from Oxford, SIMES and Berkeley Lab say cadmium arsenide could yield practical devices with the same extraordinary electronic properties as 2-D graphene.

A new battery design harnesses waste heat in a four-step process: heating, charging, cooling and discharging.

In a recent experiment at SLAC's Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource, scientists "tickled" atoms to explore the flow of heat and energy across materials at ultrasmall scales.
