DOE announces $218 million for Quantum Information Science

SLAC receives three awards for the development of quantum technology for dark matter searches and quantum computing.

Particle physicists team up with AI to solve toughest science problems

Researchers from SLAC and around the world increasingly use machine learning to handle Big Data produced in modern experiments and to study some of the most fundamental properties of the universe.

SLAC, Stanford Scientists Discover How a Hardy Microbe’s Crystalline Shell Helps it Reel in Food

Tiny pores in the shells of archaea microbes attract ammonium ions that are their sole source of energy, allowing them to thrive where this food is so scarce that scientists can’t even detect it.

Q&A: Alan Heirich and Elliott Slaughter Take On SLAC’s Big Data Challenges

As members of the lab’s Computer Science Division, they develop the tools needed to handle ginormous data volumes produced by the next generation of scientific discovery machines.

From Science to Finance: SLAC Summer Interns Forge New Paths in STEM

More than 100 students worked on projects ranging from website development to imaging techniques for X-ray studies, learning new ways to apply their talents.

Scientists See Molecules ‘Breathe’ in Remarkable Detail

The research team was able to watch energy from light flow through atomic ripples in a molecule. Such insights may provide new ways to develop a class of materials that improve efficiency and reduce the size of applications like solar cells and memory storage devices.
