Efforts are already underway to ensure that the data the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope collects will be ready to be mined for scientific gold.

The SuperCDMS dark matter experiment will be located at the Canadian laboratory SNOLAB, 2 kilometers (6,800 feet) underground inside a nickel mine near the city of Sudbury. It’s the deepest underground laboratory in North America. There it will be protected...

Public lecture called A sparkle in the dark: the outlandish quest for dark matter

This animation shows how krypton (red) is removed from xenon gas (blue) by flowing the combined gases through a column of charcoal (black specks). Both elements stick to the charcoal, but krypton is not as strongly attached and gets swept...

A blue cloud with red spots travels downward, passing gray spots. As it does, the red spots move downward faster.

Facility for Advanced Accelerator Experimental Tests (FACET-II).

A look inside SLAC’s FACET-II test facility, where scientists use electron beams to advance revolutionary technologies that could make future particle accelerators much smaller and a lot more capable.

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope will take the most thorough survey ever of the Southern sky.

21 of these "science rafts" will go into the world's largest digital camera for astronomy, which is being assembled and tested at SLAC.

Presented by Justin Myles. As the universe expanded from the Big Bang, regions where the density of matter was higher than average grew into galaxies and clusters of galaxies.

Bernhard Mistlberger will receive the APS's 2023 Henry Primakoff Award for Early-Career Particle Physics for his work on precision Standard Model calculations.

Two GEM Fellows reflect on their summer internships at SLAC and share their thoughts on representation and mentorship.

LSST Camera images provide the inspiration for artist Lennart Lahuis’s “Astromelancholia.”
