Using SLAC’s Linac Coherent Light Source, researchers created “molecular movies” of an enzyme linked to cancer and another essential to penicillin production.

Stanford researchers developed a flexible glycine-based piezoelectric material with improved stability for potential use in medical and environmental sensors.

A Stanford study reveals how changes in DNA packaging can help immune cells burst, shedding light on a defense process implicated in autoimmune diseases.

Driverless cars are no longer science fiction. A Stanford expert explains how we got here, while a look back traces the Stanford research that helped pave the way.

Researchers used AI to identify promising candidates for antibiotics less prone to resistance.

The discovery that tiny units of sound can suddenly change energy states has the potential to advance a range of technologies.

A Stanford-led team has created a new type of spin glass made of atoms and photons and used it to increase the memory capacity of simple artificial intelligence systems.

Many cells in an acorn worm reprogram into different cell types instead of dying or staying the same, the first evidence of this process in bilaterally symmetrical animals.

The scanner pinpoints when and where brain activity occurs, opening new avenues for research on speech, memory, and neurological disorders.

Using liquid crystals as a model, a SLAC-Stanford team developed a precise method to measure energy dissipation in electrical models. The technique could inform the design of more energy-efficient computers.
