First peer-reviewed paper using data from SLAC-built LSST Camera identifies an asteroid, nearly the size of eight football fields, rotating every two minutes.

Surfing a plasma wave, electrons get an energy and brightness boost.

Experiments running at these higher pulse rates will allow scientists to capture ultrafast processes with greater precision, collect data more efficiently and explore phenomena that were previously out of reach.

In the largest dataset ever collected by a dark matter detector, LUX-ZEPLIN's latest results provide the strongest constraints on low-mass WIMPs and detect boron-8 solar neutrinos.

SLAC and Stanford scientists uncovered a quantum spin liquid, a state of matter that may have applications for quantum information.

SLAC and Stanford partner with Argonne National Laboratory and others toward a quantum-interconnected world.

The state-of-the-art ‘big-data facility’ unveils its first images and video, bringing the night sky to life like never before.

Using the largest digital camera in the world, Rubin Observatory will soon be ready to capture more data than any other observatory in history.

The high-energy upgrade will keep the U.S. at the forefront of X-ray science and technology, allowing researchers to advance fields such as sustainability, human health and quantum information.

Charging lithium-ion batteries at high currents just before they leave the factory is 30 times faster and increases battery lifespans by 50%, according to a study at the SLAC-Stanford Battery Center.
