The first batch of data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument is now available for researchers to mine. Taken during the experiment’s “survey validation” phase, the data include distant galaxies and quasars as well as stars in our own Milky...

They’ll work on experiments searching for dark matter and physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics to push our understanding of what makes up the universe.

The results should further our understanding of similar reactions with vital roles in chemistry, such as the production of vitamin D in our bodies.

The results offer important implications for astrophysics and nuclear fusion research.

A low-cost, recyclable powder can kill thousands of waterborne bacteria per second when exposed to sunlight. Stanford and SLAC scientists say the ultrafast disinfectant could be a revolutionary advance for 2 billion people worldwide without access to safe drinking water.

The first pair of towers are now at the Ontario facility, where they'll further the hunt for dark matter particles.

Just because matter is visible doesn’t mean it’s easy to see.

Chemical reactions often involve intermediate steps that are too fast and complex for us to see  – even using our most advanced scientific instruments. Combining two X-ray spectroscopy techniques has now been shown to change that.

After decades of effort, scientists have finally seen the process by which nature creates the oxygen we breathe using SLAC’s X-ray laser.

The algorithm pairs machine-learning techniques with classical beam physics equations to avoid massive data crunching.
