Silicon chips can store data in billionths of a second, but phase-change memory could be 1,000 times faster, while using less energy and requiring...

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument will measure light from 35 million cosmic objects for new insights into what causes the universe to expand faster...

How do scientists know what percentages of the universe are made up of dark matter and dark energy?

A previously detected, anomalously large X-ray signal is absent in new Hitomi satellite data, setting tighter limits for a dark matter interpretation.

Three recent studies using data from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have expanded the hunt for unexplained signals coming from beyond our galaxy.

Researchers at SLAC and Stanford have created a nanostructured device, about half the size of a postage stamp, that harnesses more of the sun's...

The study could help develop ways to safely transport radioactive actinium through the body to target tumor cells.

The SLAC staff scientist is being honored for using theory and computation to help design new catalysts for generating and storing clean energy.

It’s the cornerstone of cosmology, but what is it all about?

Thirty students from around the country performed research projects and more at SLAC this summer through the SULI program.

A ‘nonlinear’ phenomenon that seemingly turns materials transparent is seen for the first time in X-rays at SLAC’s Linac Coherent Light Source.

Merging two powerful 3-D X-ray techniques, researchers revealed new details of a process known as metal poisoning that clogs the pores of catalyst particles...
