Excitons Dance the Two-Step in a 2D Material
Excitonic insulators are a rare form of macroscopic quantum state that can be realized at a high temperature, which can be useful for quantum information science. At the ALS, researchers found that in a 2D material, a novel two-step “folding” behavior in the ARPES data signals the existence of an intermediate exciton gas state. Read more »
Congratulations to Our 2023 Retirees
Gary Giangrasso, David Malone, and Troy Stevens Sr. are retiring after a combined 94.25 years of service. Thank you all for your contributions to the ALS, and congratulations on your retirement! Read more »
New Pathway for SO2 Breakup Sheds Light on Earth’s Oxygenation
While calibrating a new scientific apparatus at the ALS, researchers discovered that ultraviolet light can break up sulfur dioxide (SO2) in a new way, with molecular oxygen (O2) as an unexpected product. The discovery sheds light on Earth’s Great Oxygenation Event 2.4 billion years ago, when atmospheric oxygen levels first began to rise. Read more »
New Option for Preferred Name in ALSHub
Users and staff may now list their preferred name in addition to their legal name when registering in ALSHub. The preferred name will display on the ALSHub Dashboard, proposal, scheduler, ESAF, and in User Office Communications. Read more »
Doug Bashaw, Electronics Engineering Technical Supervisor
As the leader of the Social Activities Task Force, Doug Bashaw helps make the ALS a more fun place to work. Find out how he went from a gunner’s mate in the U.S. Navy to the electronics team here, making the ALS a safer place to work, too. Read more »
Three SCGSR Awardees to Conduct Research at the ALS (May 2023)
The Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) program will provide Alaina Hartnett (Harvard University), Mostafa Nassr (UT Austin), and Sreevishnu Oruganti (UIUC) with supplemental awards to conduct research at the ALS in areas that address scientific challenges central to the Office of Science mission.

Synergistic Effect Could Boost Production of Green Hydrogen
Researchers developed a composite material of earth-abundant elements that catalyzes the production of green hydrogen much more effectively than similar homogeneous compounds. The composite could potentially be used for efficient hydrogen generation without the need for rare and precious metals like platinum. Read more »

Kristin Carrillo, Senior Material Specialist
Kristin Carrillo’s many tasks around the ALS may be a divergence from her degree in psychology and her previous life as a softball player, but the connecting thread is the relationships she’s developed with the people around her. Find out more about her work as a material specialist and how she supports the scientific mission of the ALS. Read more »
