Discovered at SLAC and Stanford, this new class of unconventional superconductors is starting to give up its secrets – including a surprising 3D metallic state.

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

A new understanding of the nucleation process could shed light on how the shells help microbes interact with their environments, and help people design self-assembling nanostructures for various tasks.

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 new study uncovers how a critical protein binds to drugs used to treat asthma and other inflammatory diseases.

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

It reveals an abrupt transition in cuprates where particles give up their individuality. The results flip a popular theory on its head.

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.

A better understanding of ‘checkpoint proteins,’ which protect cancer cells against immune system strikes, could lead to the development of more effective drugs.

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.

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

The annual conference for scientists who conduct research at SLAC’s light sources engaged about 350 researchers in talks, workshops and discussions.
