SLAC hosts a range of exciting events to raise awareness, inform, educate and connect with sitewide staff, Stanford, local communities and the general public.
Tiny microbes and molecular machines have an outsized impact on human health, and they play key roles in the vast global cycles that shape climate and make carbon and nitrogen available to all living things. SLAC biology advances our understanding...
In its infancy, the universe was awash in fundamental particles. Over billions of years, matter cooled and clumped into stars and galaxies, tied together by a cosmic web of dark matter.
To explore the birth of the universe, the formation of stars and galaxies and the fundamental structure of space and time, SLAC researchers develop cutting-edge technologies for sensitive experiments located deep underground, on the surface and in space.
Accelerators form the backbone of SLAC's national user facilities. They are complicated machines, with hundreds of thousands of components that all need to be designed, engineered, operated and maintained to achieve the highest energy acceleration and the highest quality particle...
