Our User Meeting (Sep 11–15) will look a little different this year:
Day 1: Tutorials
Day 2: Plenary
Days 3–5: ALS 2033 Visioning Workshops
Join us in Berkeley or virtually as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of first light and look ahead to the future!

Glad to see our work is featured on the cover of Nature Energy @NatureEnergyJnl
This month’s cover goes to @geoffreenergy, @Neo_XinXu, @TengCui1 and team who use operando microprobe experiments to reveal that lithium dendrites, initiated via nanoscale mechanical defects, can be manipulated via globally applied stresses. go.nature.com/3HKKBzI

Small clusters of gold emit light in interesting and useful ways. To learn more, scientists squeezed Au nanoclusters in a diamond-anvil cell and used the resulting structure–property data to explain an observed blueshift. @BerkeleyLab, @GuLabStanford

A new material for 3D printing at the nanoscale—one that is able to absorb twice as much energy than other 3D-printed materials of a comparable density—has been developed by @GuLabStanford. engineering.stanford.edu/mag…

Great time at my first GRC experience; after delivering a talk, nothing better than celebrating with some proper Swiss cheese with friends and colleagues! @GuLabStanford

To enable the use of more renewable energy, we need better magnets. Magnets are involved in almost every step of electrical production and better magnets could help make electrical devices much smaller and cheaper. stanford.io/3IC8czL @GuLabStanford @stanford_ee

Excited to announce that our team @JHUMaterials, @JHUAPL, and @GuLabStanford will get to build on our work in additively manufactured soft magnetic composites for electric vehicles and devices through an @ARPAE Open 2021 award! We never stopped believing in SMCs; our time is now!

I really love the sense of wonder I get when I look at physics problems. When I look at an electron microscope image, I’m still amazed that we can visualize atoms. I don’t think that wonder is ever going to leave me. —Wendy Gu, Assistant Professor, ME stanford.io/3pVydkn
