The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment observed a particle interaction that could be interpreted as a signal from WIMPs, a dark matter candidate – but researchers will need more data to confirm.
The deep-underground experiment could produce early-scientific results in the search for one of nature’s most elusive substances even, before reaching optimal sensitivity when the full search begins next year.
Tomorrow's innovations will come from autonomous labs that slash discovery time, and SLAC's facilities are taking the lead in a new collaboration with Stanford, other national labs, universities, and industry.
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.
Announced by the DOE today, the funded project will explore the use of Super Intelligence to accelerate our understanding of a process central to energy and chemical production. SLAC will also play a key role in eight other Genesis Mission...
Stanford and SLAC faculty members Wendy Mao and Alberto Salleo have been honored for work in compressed-matter physics and polymer electronic materials.
Using X-ray free-electron lasers like SLAC’s LCLS, researchers study how enzymes catalyze reactions, which could help them develop drugs and other medical treatments.
