In order to help our nation meet its goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, scientists like William Chueh and David Shapiro are working together to come up with new strategies to design safer, long-distance batteries made from sustainable, Earth-abundant materials. They discuss their pioneering work in this Q&A. Read more »

Safely Studying Dangerous Infections Just Got a Lot Easier
Researchers have cranked up the speed of imaging infected cells using soft x-ray tomography, a technique that can generate incredibly detailed, three-dimensional scans. The approach gives an easy way to quickly examine how cells’ internal machinery responds to SARS-CoV-2, or other pathogens, as well as how the cells respond to drugs designed to treat the infection.

A Photoelectrode Protection Scheme for Solar-Fuel Production
Microscopy, spectroscopy, and computational studies of a promising artificial-photosynthesis material led researchers to develop a model photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell with remarkable stability and longevity as it selectively converts sunlight and carbon dioxide into two promising sources of renewable fuels—ethylene and hydrogen.

2022 Update from ALS Director Steve Kevan
After a roller-coaster two years, Steve Kevan is happy to report that the ALS is emerging from the pandemic, perhaps a little battered but certainly not broken. He invites the community to look to the near- and long-term future of the ALS. Read more »
Ming Yi, Users’ Executive Committee Chair
From superconductors to snowboarding, Ming Yi sees the beauty of physics everywhere. She loves the sense of community in the synchrotron world and hopes users and staff will share their input with the Users’ Executive Committee. Read more »
Latest Update on Long-Term Operating Schedule
The ALS is currently in a long shutdown, and user operations are scheduled to resume on March 15. We anticipate the next shutdown will begin on July 4 and last less than eight weeks. The most up-to-date information can always be found on the Operating Schedule web page. Read more »

Rapid 3D Visualization of Lung Cells Altered by SARS-CoV-2
In this work, researchers illustrated the potential of soft x-ray tomography to rapidly characterize and quantify the structural changes induced in cells infected by SARS-CoV-2, revealing profound alterations of the subcellular architecture induced by viral infection over time. Read more »
Improving the Efficiency of Atmospheric Water Harvesting
Researchers traced the step-by-step path of water-molecule uptake in a porous compound, then made pinpoint modifications to shape the material’s water-sorption behavior. The results led to improvements in the compound’s efficiency at harvesting water from the air, an important step toward alleviating water shortages in the future. Read more »
