The ALS computing team is developing tools to help users make the most of their beamtime and eliminate bottlenecks that currently exist. They have been traveling around the world and collaborating across facilities to develop advanced data processing solutions that will yield more meaningful data. Read more »

Revealing unprecedented cathode interface behavior in all-solid-state batteries with oxychloride solid electrolytes
This research provides crucial insights into the innovative design of high-performance all-solid-state batteries (ASSLBs) based on the promising lithium tantalum oxychloride (LTOC) solid electrolytes. Read more »
Engineering Lipophilic Aggregation of Adapalene and Adamantane-Based Cocrystals via van der Waals Forces and Hydrogen Bonding
Adamantanes are emerging building blocks for active pharmaceutical ingredients. In this work, we sought to understand how systematic modification of the hydrophobic cage in adamantanes could result in changes to crystal packing in single and multicomponent organic solids. Read more »
Superhard Materials at the Nanoscale: Smaller is Better
In the superhard material, rhenium diboride, smaller grain size leads to greater yield strength (i.e., the amount of stress tolerated before permanent deformation). Because such transition-metal borides are extremely hard, metallic, and can be synthesized at ambient pressure, they have exciting potential for use in next-generation cutting tools. Read more »
Two-dimensional perovskite templates for durable, efficient formamidinium perovskite solar cells
When the lattice-matched 2D perovskite BA2FAPb2I7 (red) is incorporated into a yellow-phase FAPbI3 matrix (yellow), the 2D crystallites present a perovskite-like surface, which serves as a template for the FAPbI3 to convert to its photoactive phase (black). The resulting phase-stabilized FAPbI3 shows substantially improved optoelectronic properties and exceptional stability under 85°C and sunlight. Read more »
ATLAS Masterclass Visits the ALS
In late April, the Berkeley Lab Physics Division hosted an ATLAS masterclass for high school students where they could learn about high energy and particle physics and analyze real data from the ATLAS detector at the LHC at CERN. For on-site participants, the day included a tour of the ALS. Read more »
September Call for 2023 and 2024 Publications
All publications resulting from work done in whole, or in part, at the ALS must be recorded by the User Office for the Department of Energy (DOE). Please help ensure our records are complete by reporting your ALS publications, especially those published in 2023 and 2024. Read more »
Researchers from NASA Ames Visit the ALS
On May 7, a team from NASA Ames Research Center visited Berkeley Lab. Dimitri Argyriou and Ashley White gave them a tour of the ALS, where they learned about heat shield work in support of the Artemis II crewed lunar flyby mission and other space-related research at the ALS. Read more »
2024 #LightSourceSelfieDay
To celebrate the 20th birthday of Lightsources.org, people working at synchrotron light sources were invited to post a selfie at a light source on social media on May 20th with the hashtag #LightSourceSelfieDay. A number of people from the ALS joined in. Read more »
A Novel Staircase Pattern in Spin-Stripe Periodicity
Striped patterns of spins in a magnetic thin film were found to evolve under an applied magnetic field in steps reminiscent of a structure known as the “Devil’s Staircase.” Such studies are valuable for understanding competing interactions at the atomic level for applications such as magnetic sensors and spintronic devices.
