The early universe

It will provide new insights into the physics of black holes, the formation of chemical elements, stars and galaxies, and the evolution of the universe itself.

Fermi scientist Matthew Wood discusses major improvements to the Fermi Large Area Telescope, including increasing its sensitivity to the equivalent of launching another LAT.

A recent uptick in the discovery of the smallest, oldest galaxies benefits studies of dark matter, galaxy formation and the evolution of the unive

Matter and antimatter behave differently. Scientists hope that investigating how might someday explain why we exist.

Researchers are searching for a quantum theory of gravity that could help answer fundamental questions about the universe, from the very first moments after the Big Bang to the physics of black holes.

SLAC is ramping up its efforts to understand neutrinos – elusive fundamental particles whose properties may help researchers solve a number of cosmic mysteries.

The DOE has approved the project’s scientific scope, schedule and funding. SLAC researchers are among the 200 physicists and astronomers who make up the international DESI Collaboration.

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope’s ‘Eye’ Will be Built at SLAC.

Theorists from the Institute for Advanced Study have proposed a way forward in the quest to test string theory.

Exploding stars have an immense capacity to destroy—and create.

How can we figure out when the universe began?
