A SLAC-led team has invented a method, called XLEAP, that generates powerful low-energy X-ray laser pulses that are only 280 attoseconds, or billionths of a…
An illustration shows how the normal state of a superconducting cuprate abruptly changes when the density of free-flowing electrons is tweaked in a process known…
Illustration of a Monte Carlo simulation, where a calculation is run billions of times in slightly different ways to arrive at a range of possible…
Using a combination of computation and experiment, researchers were able to map the shape of VISTA, a ‘checkpoint’ protein that defends cancer cells from immune…
DESI’s 5,000 spectroscopic “eyes” can cover an area of sky about 38 times larger than that of the full moon, as seen in this overlay…
An artist’s impression of a light-induced charge density wave (CDW). The wavy mesh represents distortions of the material’s lattice structure caused by the formation of…
Researchers at Stanford and SLAC are working on ways to convert waste carbon dioxide (CO2) into chemical feedstocks and fuels, turning a potent greenhouse gas…
An illustration depicts a key step in creating a new type of superconducting material: Much like pulling blocks from a tower in a Jenga game,…
