Scientists don’t yet know what dark matter is made of, but they are full of ideas.

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

Researchers at SLAC have found a simple new way to study very delicate biological samples – like proteins at work in photosynthesis and components...

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...

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.
