SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, a state-owned entity headquartered in Menlo Park, California, United States, was founded in 1962 and operates as a federally funded research and development center, originally named the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center.
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory researchers are investigating methods to prevent short-circuiting in solid-state batteries by compressing ceramic substances, aiming to enhance the reliability and longevity of lithium-ion batteries by replacing liquid components. Previously, on August 24, 2026, the laboratory announced the development of an AI-based method to compress massive datasets from next-generation science experiments without losing critical detail, addressing a looming data storage and analysis bottleneck for instruments like the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). On the same day, SLAC and Sandia National Laboratories were named co-leads for COMPASS, a new Department of Energy (DOE) program funded with $8.4 million over three years. This initiative aims to foster the launch of startups leveraging national lab technologies. Earlier, on August 21, 2026, researchers began using AI agents to determine optimal methods for recovering nickel, cobalt, and other critical metals from used lithium-ion batteries, as part of the Energy Department's Genesis Mission to accelerate scientific discovery.
