A day in the life of a cosmic-ray ‘bookkeeper’
Early-career physicist Jonathan LeyVa helps build one of the world’s most sensitive dark matter detectors.
In brief: New round of DOE awards bolsters quantum information science at SLAC
Two projects will look for ways to link individual quantum devices into networks for quantum computing and ultrasensitive detectors.
A new route to carbon-neutral fuels from CO2
SLAC/Stanford scientists and their colleagues find a new way to efficiently convert CO2 into the building block for sustainable liquid fuels.
Atomic ‘Trojan horse’ could inspire new generation of X-ray lasers and particle colliders
At SLAC’s FACET facility, researchers have produced an intense electron beam by 'sneaking’ electrons into plasma, demonstrating a method that could be used in future compact discovery machines that explore the subatomic world.
Arianna Gleason and Diana Gamzina receive DOE Early Career Research grants
The SLAC scientists will each receive $2.5 million for their research on fusion energy and advanced radiofrequency technology.
SLAC sends off woven grids for LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter detector
Four large meshes woven from 2 miles of metal wire will extract potential signs of dark matter particles.
A miniature camera for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope will help test the observatory and take first images
SLAC completed its work on ComCam, a commissioning device to be installed in Chile later this year.
Symmetry: Engineering the world’s largest digital camera
Building the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope also means solving extraordinary technological challenges.
SLAC fires up electron gun for LCLS-II X-ray laser upgrade
Its electron beams will drive the generation of up to a million ultrabright X-ray flashes per second.
Q&A: SLAC/Stanford researchers prepare for a new quantum revolution
Monika Schleier-Smith and Kent Irwin explain how their projects in quantum information science could help us better understand black holes and dark matter.
