Science & Engineering

Researchers used high-energy electrons and lasers to detect a surprisingly strong optical signal from ionized semiconductors. The findings could improve medical imaging and sensing technologies.

Using a novel heating method that cuts carbon emissions, engineers dramatically improved hydrogen production efficiency. The process also comes with a surprising side benefit.

A world-leading dark matter detector observed a rare particle interaction that may represent dark matter, the invisible substance comprising most of the universe’s mass.

A high-throughput method enables researchers to screen hundreds of drugs in parallel, accelerating discovery of therapies that degrade disease-causing proteins.

Stanford Professor Natalie Larson shares how an innovative 3D printing approach is transforming applications across cultivated meat, structural batteries, metamaterials, antennas, and soft robotics.

SLAC and Stanford research shows that mechanical compression stops lithium buildup in solid-state batteries, making them faster to charge and longer-lasting.

A SLAC-led experiment more than a mile beneath a Canadian mine has begun collecting early scientific data ahead of a full-sensitivity search next year.

Scientists expected planets hugging their stars to be airless, yet some maintain thick atmospheres. New Stanford research explains the mechanism behind this atmospheric paradox.

A study of X finds that engagement-based feeds are more likely to push provocative content than posts aligned with users’ stated values.

A new SLAC study could improve simulations used to identify materials that can withstand the intense heat of future fusion reactors.
