This video explains how researchers at SLAC are using a method known as ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) to develop an atomic-level understanding of how metals melt, which could help them design materials for applications where materials have to withstand extreme...
Researchers around the world pursue three approaches to look for fingerprints of dark matter's ghostly components: on the Earth’s surface, underground and in space.
The centerpiece of the SuperCDMS SNOLAB experiment will be four detector towers (left), each containing six detector packs. The towers will be mounted inside the SNOBOX (right), a vessel in which the detector packs will be cooled to almost absolute...
In 2019, researchers plan to replace the current dark matter experiment LUX with the more sensitive LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ). It will be located one mile underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota, in a cavern within the former...
This documentary chronicles SLAC’s history, shares personal experiences from some of its directors, scientists and innovators, and offers a glimpse into the many projects we’re working on today.
