Registration is encouraged for this event! There will be limited space for walk-ups (first come, first serve). At CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), protons collide at nearly the speed of light, unleashing a particle party that might reveal secrets beyond...

Register to watch in person in the Kavli Auditorium, or watch the lecture live on our YouTube page. For a decade, SLAC has been using its X-ray laser, the Linac Coherent Light Source, to explore the properties of matter at...

SLAC Lecture | Revealing the Secrets of Transistors using Supercomputers

Register to watch in person in the Kavli Auditorium, or watch the lecture live on our YouTube page. Plants supply us with food, clothing, medicines, fuels, and other necessities of life. For their growth, plants need essential minerals from the...

Register to watch in person in the Kavli Auditorium, or watch the lecture live on our YouTube page. In particle physics, we search for new elementary particles that signal extensions of the fundamental interactions of nature. Experiments at the CERN...

It is a mystery how the earliest organisms on earth evolved the means to thrive, grow and reproduce under the sparse conditions of the young planet. Primordial earth had little oxygen and in the deep seas, no available light. One...
