When the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) opened its giant eye last week and began taking pictures of the ancient light from far-off galaxies, more than 120 members of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) eagerly awaited the first snapshots.

Stanford University's Precourt Institute for Energy (PIE), TomKat Center for Sustainable Energy and Precourt Energy Efficiency Center (PEEC) have awarded nine faculty seed grants totaling $2.2 million for promising new research in clean technology and energy efficiency.

More than 100 graduate and professional students attending an annual energy conference that takes place at Stanford and SLAC toured the lab on Tuesday.

A frustrating flaw in a set of custom crystals for an instrument at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory inspired a solution for an important scientific challenge: how to accurately measure the colors of each individual pulse from a powerful X-ray laser.

In a paper published Aug. 30 in Nature, an international team of researchers working at the Linac Coherent Light Source at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory describe a promising new method that directly measures, in atomic detail, how light manipulates electric...

Scientists working at SLAC's Linac Coherent Light Source have captured the first single-shot X-ray microscope image of a magnetic nanostructure and shown that it can be done without damaging the material.

In a two-day event commemorating the 50th anniversary of SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, about 1,000 employees, former employees and university, government and scientific leaders celebrated the lab's successes and looked ahead to the next great challenges.

In the early 1960s, a two-and-a-half-mile-long strip of land in the rolling hills west of Stanford University was transformed into fertile ground for physicists' dreams.

Tom Cahill and his colleagues at the DELTA Group are frequent visitors to the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource, where they use Beam Line 2-2 to help them determine detailed lists of the elements found in all sorts of unlikely samples.
