Constellations illustrates the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics—with a love story.

The Advanced LIGO gravitational wave detectors have announced their first observation of a binary neutron star coalescence.

Cross sections tell physicists how likely particles are to interact in a given way.

In October, SLAC installed the first of LCLS-II’s cryogenic “feed caps” and “end caps.”

The cryogenic plant responsible for keeping LCLS-II’s superconducting linear accelerator at just a few degrees above absolute zero recently received its first warm helium compressors.

Around the world, scientists and non-scientists alike celebrated the first international Dark Matter Day.

SLAC engineer Knut Skarpaas designs some of physics’ most challenging machines, finding inspiration in unexpected places.

Analysis of data from the BaBar experiment rules out theorized particle’s explanation for muon mystery.

Effort to improve the next generation of gravitational wave detectors includes atomic studies of new and better coatings for LIGO’s mirrors at SSRL.

A new way to observe this deformation as it happens can help study a wide range of phenomena, from meteor impacts to high-performance ceramics used in armor, as well as how to protect spacecraft from high-speed dust impacts.

Clothing made from a reversible fabric, developed in part by SIMES researchers, could warm or cool wearers and keep them comfortable, bringing down buildings’ energy costs.

Adding pressure could improve the performance of solar cells made of perovskites, a promising photovoltaic material.
