Electronic, Magnetic & Photonic Materials

The Secretary and other U.S. Department of Energy officials visited SLAC's energy labs and commended the staff for their dedication in successfully launching the LCLS-II

With a new suite of tools, scientists discovered exactly how tiny plate-like catalyst particles carry out a key step in that conversion – the evolution of oxygen in an electrocatal

Scientists have documented a process that makes these next-gen batteries lose charge – and eventually some of their capacity for storing energy – even when a device is turned off.

If adopted, the technology could extend the driving range of electric vehicles and reduce the danger that laptops, cell phones and other devices will burst into flames.

The display would feature brighter images with purer colors and more than 10,000 pixels per inch.

Gently heating N95 masks at a relatively high humidity was found to inactivate any SARS-CoV-2 virus trapped within, without degrading the masks’ performance.

Researchers have invented a way to slide atomically-thin layers of 2D materials over one another to store more data, in less space and using less energy.

Stanford researchers have designed a new electrolyte for lithium metal batteries that could increase the driving range of electric cars.

Their efforts may someday enable quantum-based technologies, such as quantum computers, quantum networks or engines that run on light.

Made from affordable and durable materials, this technology could make coastal wastewater treatment plants energy-independent and carbon neutral.

A new device called a nanoscale photon diode could eventually enable next-generation computing, communication and energy conversion technologies.

To remove these dangerous toxins from the ground before they enter the food chain, researchers are testing a novel chemical process.

Researchers retool an electron microscope to make the impossible task of studying a single nanoparticle possible.

​A new thermal transistor could help conduct heat away from delicate electronic components and also insulate them against chip and circuit failure.

Bube helped pave the way for today’s solar cells and was a prolific author and lecturer who tried to bridge the gap between science and religion.

The discovery of a design trick that reflects more light could lead to new applications for screens on computers, smartphones and virtual reality headsets.
