Computer simulations and lab experiments help researchers understand the violent universe and could potentially lead to new technologies that benefit humankind.

CERN physicist Edda Gschwendtner explains why we need big machines to study tiny particles.

Learn some particle accelerator basics from a Fermilab accelerator operator.

What’s it like working on experiments over the holidays?

The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation has awarded $13.5 million for an international effort to build a working particle accelerator the size of a shoebox based on an innovative technology known as “accelerator on a chip.”

Physicists are already preparing upgrades that will increase the physics reach of the Large Hadron Collider in the next decade.

President Obama honored a SLAC and UCLA scientist for work that paved the way for the brightest sources of X-ray light on the planet.

The American Physical Society has recognized both researchers for their leading role in SLAC’s BABAR experiment, which confirmed theorists’ description of how nature treats matter and antimatter differently.

Understanding Motions of Thin Layers May Help Design Solar Cells, Electronics and Catalysts of the Future

A SLAC-led research team working at the lab’s FACET facility has demonstrated a new way of accelerating positrons that could help develop smaller, more economical future particle colliders.

Scientists and engineers in South Korea will soon be using SLAC’s signature high-power radio-frequency amplifiers, called XL4 klystrons, to get the most out of their new X-ray laser.

A researcher interviewed SLAC and Stanford administrators, scientists and Nobel laureates and sifted through archival materials to better understand the drivers for change in SLAC’s science mission.
