Wolfgang K. H. “Pief” Panofsky, professor of physics at Stanford University and director emeritus of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), died of a heart attack at his home in Los Altos, Calif., Monday, Sept. 24.
ersis Drell, deputy director of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), has been appointed acting director by university President John Hennessy while the search for the successor to Jonathan Dorfan continues during the fall.
Steven Kahn, the current Deputy Director of the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIPAC), has been named the next Director of Particle and Particle Astrophysics (PPA) at the Department of Energy's Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC).
The exclusive club of magnetic elements officially has a new member—carbon. Using a proton beam and advanced x-ray techniques, researchers at the Department of Energy's Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in collaboration with colleagues from the University of Leipzig in...
Somebody who's racked up thousands of hours of community service has been either very bad or very good. Michael Hughes, a carpenter at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), has been very, very good.
Just as astronomers use specialized observatories to study distant galaxies, chemists and molecular biologists need advanced tools for studying nano-scale structures—in some ways as inaccessible as the far reaches of the cosmos.
For the first time, scientists of the BaBar experiment at the Department of Energy's Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) have observed the transition of one type of particle, the neutral D-meson, into its antimatter particle.
Ghostly galaxies composed almost entirely of dark matter speckle the universe. Unlike normal galaxies, these extreme systems contain very few stars and are almost devoid of gas.
Picking a relatively simple system, scientists at the Department of Energy's Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) and their collaborators used advanced tools to see the very first instants of change in a solid brought to the edge of melting.
CA—Scientists working in part at the Department of Energy's Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (SSRL) have discovered a gene for a protein that regulates the cellular response to copper in the bacterium that causes tuberculosis.
A collaboration of scientists including researchers from the Department of Energy's Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) have for the first time successfully demonstrated the use of extremely short and intense soft X-ray pulses to capture images of objects before the...
