View photos of upgrades and new equipment at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) that will enable scientists to study photosynthesis, superconductors and other fields of research.

Researchers at SLAC have found a simple new way to study very delicate biological samples – like proteins at work in photosynthesis and components of protein-making machines called ribosomes – at the atomic scale using SLAC's X-ray laser.

SLAC and Stanford scientists discovered that a single layer of tiny diamonds increases an electron gun’s emission 13,000 fold. Potential applications include electron microscopes and semiconductor manufacturing.

To learn more about the particles they collide, physicists turn their attention to a less destructive type of collision in the LHC.

Scientists have successfully tested the first prototype camera for the Cherenkov Telescope Array.

Dark matter hunters of the LUX collaboration have ruled out a larger-than-ever range of properties that hypothetical dark matter particles might have had.

An international jury and more than 3800 public votes determined the winners of this year's Global Physics Photowalk competition.

A tour of 10 of this year’s popular science books delivers dark matter, black holes and a hefty dose of Einstein.

What’s it like working on experiments over the holidays?

The United States and the European physics laboratory have formally agreed to partner on continued LHC research, upcoming neutrino research and a

Ian Wilson explains how scientists have found a way to induce antibodies to fight a range of influenza viruses, which could some day eliminate the need for seasonal flu shots.

A recent uptick in the discovery of the smallest, oldest galaxies benefits studies of dark matter, galaxy formation and the evolution of the unive
