Using the largest digital camera in the world, Rubin Observatory will soon be ready to capture more data than any other observatory in history.

Researchers positioned lasers to compress billions of electrons together, creating a beam five times more powerful than before.

As a member of a collaborative team led by General Atomics, SLAC will help bridge basic research programs with the growing fusion industry. 

This is the first measurement of its kind and will enable researchers to evaluate electron dynamics in a new range of super-small particles,  valued  for their ability to trap and manipulate light. 

Scientists studying laser-plasma proton acceleration made an unexpected breakthrough, simultaneously resolving multiple long-standing problems although they had only aimed to address one. 

Rubin Observatory’s rapid scanning of the night sky will capture the largest sample of Type Ia supernovae yet, unlocking new insights into dark energy.

NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory has just successfully completed a series of full-system tests using an engineering test camera.

About 30 years ago an ‘ideas guy’ and a team builder joined forces to search for the invisible bulk of existence. In this Q&A, SLAC’s Thomas Shutt and Daniel Akerib discuss the challenges of their field and how future generations...

A new center brings astrophysics, data science, and AI together to answer some of the universe’s biggest questions.

AI is playing a key role in helping SLAC researchers find new galaxies and tiny neutrinos, and discover new drugs.

In 1974, the independent discovery of the J/psi particle at SLAC and Brookhaven National Laboratory rocked the physics world, and entire textbooks had to be rewritten. Earlier this month, SLAC hosted a symposium to celebrate the milestone.

The observatory's practice camera has captured its first on-sky data.
