New results from the world’s most sensitive dark matter detector put the best-ever limits on particles called WIMPs, a leading candidate for what makes up our universe’s invisible mass.

Two determined fellows share their thoughts on representation, mentorship and staying true to themselves in STEM.

They’ll work on experiments searching for dark matter and physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics to push our understanding of what makes up the universe.

An enormous vat of pure liquid xenon will help scientists at SLAC and around the globe learn more about the universe.

They’ll work on experiments that search for dark matter particles and exotic neutrino decays that could help explain why there’s more matter than antimatter in the universe.

SLAC researchers contributed to the design, construction, testing and analysis of the experiment, which has already put the tightest bounds yet on a popular theory of dark matter.

Maria Elena Monzani prepares an international team to search for clues to one of the biggest scientific mysteries.

Four large meshes made from 2 miles of metal wire will extract potential signals of dark matter particles.

These projects, selected during the process to plan the future of US particle physics, are all set to come online within the next 10 years.

SLAC engineer Knut Skarpaas designs some of physics’ most challenging machines, finding inspiration in unexpected places.

Around the world, scientists and non-scientists alike celebrated the first international Dark Matter Day.

System tests at SLAC continue with 32 light sensors - up from a single one - in a small-scale version of the future experiment, which will use nearly 500 of them.
