Exploring Heat and Energy at the Smallest Scales
In a recent experiment at SLAC's Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource, scientists "tickled" atoms to explore the flow of heat and energy across materials at ultrasmall scales.
KIPAC Celebrates Second Annual Public Open House
About 550 visitors from all over the Bay Area came to explore a wide range of the institute’s cosmic research topics.
Symmetry: Scientists to map universe in 3-D HD
In a few years, scientists will come out with a new map of a third of the sky, one that will go deeper and bring that depth into sharper focus than any survey has yet achieved. It will pinpoint 25 million galaxies and quasars, pulling back the curtains on the history of the universe’s expansion over more than half of the age of the universe.
Physics Beyond the Large Hadron Collider
SLAC recently hosted a forward-looking group of theoretical and experimental particle physicists. Their purpose: Follow the science to determine what a post-LHC collider could teach us about the universe.
Revealed at Last: Atomic Mechanism for Historic Materials Transformation
SLAC-led researchers have made the first direct measurements of a small, extremely rapid atomic rearrangement that dramatically changes the properties of many important materials.
Symmetry: The 'Cosmos' connection
Science is no longer the wallflower who doesn’t get asked to the dance, writes physicist Glen Crawford in an essay about science outreach past and present.
Symmetry: Research Abroad, CERN Style
Students from US universities work on LHC experiments through a new research abroad program.
Scientists Watch High-temperature Superconductivity Emerge out of Magnetism
Scientists at SLAC and Stanford show how high-temperature superconductivity emerges out of magnetism in an iron pnictide, a class of materials with great potential for making devices that conduct electricity with 100 percent efficiency.
Rolls-Royce, Collaborators Study Ways to Strengthen Titanium Aircraft Parts at LCLS
Rolls-Royce researchers came to SLAC earlier this month as part of a team testing titanium and its alloys, such as those used in engine parts, landing gear and other aircraft components
SLAC Accelerator Physicist Receives European Prize
Agostino Marinelli, a postdoctoral researcher in the Accelerator Directorate, has been named the 2014 recipient of the Frank Sacherer Prize from the European Physical Society.
