It’s not easy being clean.

KIPAC's Leonardo Senatore was among three Stanford professors to receive awards during a star-studded award ceremony Sunday night. Karl Deisseroth (pictured) took a top honor with a $3 million Breakthrough Prize in life science.

New technology and new thinking are pushing the dark matter hunt to lower and lower masses.

Not only are we made of fundamental particles, we also produce them and are constantly bombarded by them throughout the day.

Researchers hope that the new experiment will shine light on how elementary neutrinos morph from one type into another.

Physicists are already preparing upgrades that will increase the physics reach of the Large Hadron Collider in the next decade.

The American Physical Society has recognized both researchers for their leading role in SLAC’s BABAR experiment, which confirmed theorists’ description of how nature treats matter and antimatter differently.

It’s in the air we breathe, but it’s not so easy to get ahold of 10 metric tons of xenon in its liquid form for the LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter experiment.

Takaaki Kajita and Arthur B. McDonald received the call from Sweden for their work on the Super-Kamiokande and SNO experiments.
