He met with SLAC staff and toured the lab’s cutting-edge facilities, diving into world-leading research in X-ray and ultrafast science, artificial intelligence, astrophysics and more.

A look inside the data processing infrastructure built by the NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory to handle the Universe’s greatest data challenge.

Rubin will observe more variable stars than ever before, enabling investigations into what drives their variation and mapping the outer limits of our galaxy.

Wechsler is one of seven Stanford researchers to join the scholarly society, which works to promote science for public good.

The theorist is one of seven Stanford faculty members elected by the Academy this year, recognizing their exceptional contributions in their fields and professions.

NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory is gearing up to illuminate the Universe’s darkest secrets with groundbreaking new technology.

How do you solve a problem like big data?

The $3 million Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics went to the ATLAS, CMS, ALICE, and LHCb collaborations representing 13,508 researchers.

Now that NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s LSST Camera has been installed, what’s next?

The Hubbard Model was unable to predict electron dynamics in a simplified, one-dimensional cuprate system, hinting at an additional attractive force. 

The long and continuing quest to understand dark energy has entered exciting new territory.

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