Researchers used soft x-ray resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) at the Advanced Light Source to understand the role of aluminum doping in improving the stability of commercially used cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Read more »
Mind-Blowing Materials: Mimicking Neurons for Faster Computing
Researchers used x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) to uncover the atomic-level mechanism of conductance switching for a neuromorphic material that has the potential for energy-efficient computing. Read more »
ALS in the News (February 2025)
March 5, 2025, Deadline for General User Proposals—Updated Proposal Writing Guidelines!
The User Office is accepting new General User Proposals (GUPs) from scientists who wish to conduct research at the ALS in the 2025-2 (August–December) cycle. The deadline for submissions is March 5, 2025. Please review the updated proposal guidelines, with thanks to feedback from proposal submitters and reviewers. Additional beamtime cycles will be run before the ALS-U dark time, and we will share more information as it becomes available. Read more »
