Early-career physicist Jonathan LeyVa helps build one of the world’s most sensitive dark matter detectors.

An “out there” theory inspired the development of the Dark Matter Radio, a device that could explain the mysterious matter that makes up 85 percent of the mass of our universe.

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

A SLAC/Stanford study of the population of satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way provides new clues about the particle nature of dark matter.

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

SLAC completed its work on ComCam, a commissioning device to be installed in Chile later this year.

Building the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope also means solving extraordinary technological challenges.

Monika Schleier-Smith and Kent Irwin explain how their projects in quantum information science could help us better understand black holes and dark matter.

Some theorists have taken to designing their own experiments to broaden the search for dark matter.

The LSST camera integration and testing team inserted a raft of nine imaging sensors into the body of the ComCam. This miniature version of the LSST camera will be used for telescope commissioning. Check out photos of this and other...

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope will track billions of objects for 10 years, creating unprecedented opportunities for studies of cosmic mysteries.

Scientists, including researchers at SLAC, have only just begun to study the remarkably detailed map they created of a portion of the sky.
