Two recent meetings at SLAC brought together experts working on computer hardware and software for LSST – a future telescope that will provide unprecedented views of the sky and may solve some of the biggest mysteries of the universe.

Citizen scientists dive into particle physics and astrophysics research.

Honored for early theoretical predictions that helped elucidate the nature of the strong force and the structure of the proton, he is still shaking things up today.

After more than six years of grinding and polishing, the first-ever dual-surface mirror for a major telescope is complete.

Plans to build the world’s largest digital camera at SLAC have reached a major milestone, with funding approval for the 3,200-megapixel camera. The camera will be the centerpiece of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), which will provide unprecedented details...

Cosmic inflation refers to a period of rapid, accelerated expansion that scientists think took place about 14 billion years ago.

In September, DES will make data collected in its first season freely available to researchers.

A team of scientists generated a giant cosmic simulation—and now they're giving it away.

LSST Will Capture Unprecedented View of Night Sky

Step on a scale and you’ll get a quick measure of your weight. Weighing galaxy clusters, groups of hundreds or thousands of galaxies bound together by gravity, isn’t so easy. But scientists have many ways to do it.

The Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel’s report, released today, recommends a strategic path forward for US particle physics.

The Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel’s recommendations will set the course for the future of particle physics in the United States.
