Installation of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument begins at Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona.

21 of these "science rafts" will go into the world's largest digital camera for astronomy, which is being assembled and tested at SLAC.

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.

The astrophysicist is recognized for her leadership, mentorship and innovative work in understanding how galaxies form.

The Advanced LIGO gravitational wave detectors have announced their first observation of a binary neutron star coalescence.

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.

Instead of searching for dark matter particles, a new device will search for dark matter waves.

The summer school explored upcoming opportunities to expand our understanding of the universe and its fundamental physics, from mysterious dark matter to recently detected gravitational waves.

The minuscule and the immense can reveal quite a bit about each other.

SLAC and Stanford researchers demonstrate that brain-mimicking ‘neural networks’ can revolutionize the way astrophysicists analyze their most complex data, including extreme distortions in spacetime that are crucial for our understanding of the universe.

At a recent meeting, scientists shared ideas for searching for dark matter on the (relative) cheap.
