FACET-II will pave the way for a future generation of particle colliders and powerful light sources, opening avenues in high-energy physics, medicine, and materials, biological and energy science.

A cheap technique could detect neutrinos in polar ice, eventually allowing researchers to expand the energy reach of IceCube without breaking the bank.

At SLAC’s FACET facility, researchers have produced an intense electron beam by 'sneaking’ electrons into plasma, demonstrating a method that could be used in future compact discovery machines that explore the subatomic world.

Particle accelerators are some of the most complicated machines in science.

Scientists around the world are testing ways to further boost the power of particle accelerators while drastically shrinking their size.

An advisory committee is evaluating proposals for first experiments at SLAC’s future FACET-II accelerator facility.

Three new studies show the promise and challenge of using plasma wakefield acceleration to build a future electron-positron collider.

The SLAC Photowalk took a group of photographers, both amateur and professional, behind the scenes to photograph SLAC's world-class science facilities, including the world's longest linear accelerator, the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) and the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL)...

The goal: develop plasma technologies that could shrink future accelerators up to 1,000 times, potentially paving the way for next-generation particle colliders and powerful light sources.

Planning the next big science machine requires consideration of both the current landscape and the distant future.
