Fundamental physics

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.

SLAC’s ‘electron camera’ films rapidly melting tungsten and reveals atomic-level material behavior that could impact the design of future reactors.

The approach could advance our understanding of fundamental forces under extreme conditions with applications from astrophysics to fusion research.

Monika Schleier-Smith and Kent Irwin explain how their projects in quantum information science could help us better understand black holes and 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 newly launched Quantum Fundamentals, ARchitecture and Machines initiative will build upon existing strengths in theoretical and experimental quantum science and engineering at Stanford and SLAC.

“The Worlds Within” and “Fabrication of the Accelerator Structure,” now available digitally in high fidelity, tell the story of Stanford Linear Accelerator Center’s inception and construction.

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