The research could lead to a better understanding of how metals behave under extreme conditions, which will aid in the development of more resilient materials. 

The Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to theorists Peter Higgs and Francois Englert to recognize their work developing the theory of what is now known as the Higgs field. U.S. scientists played a significant role in advancing their...

Researchers used cryo-EM (left) to discover how a chamber in human cells (right) directs protein folding. 

SLAC completed its work on ComCam, a commissioning device to be installed in Chile later this year.

Finding ways to handle torrents of data from LSST and LCLS-II will also advance “exascale” computing.

SLAC experimentalists and theorists collaborate to develop critical detector components, data analysis tools, and theoretical models for the HL-LHC upgrade, which will investigate the Higgs boson and pursue physics beyond the Standard Model.

For the 9th year in a row, the CORE Science Institute brought underrepresented youth to the lab for a weeklong summer science program that engages students in hands-on projects and cultivates a sense of belonging in science and engineering.

James’ research on chronic and acute mercury exposure challenges conventional views

Supermassive black holes at the hearts of distant galaxies – and even our own sun – shine in the new movie. 

SLAC is taking part in a multi-institutional effort to help reach net-zero carbon emissions goals in difficult-to-electrify industries.

The long – but not too long – cavity would ping-pong X-ray pulses inside of a particle accelerator facility to help capture nature’s fastest movements.

Data from the BABAR, Belle and LHCb experiments hint at phenomena beyond the Standard Model of particle physics.
