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.

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. 

The first measurement of its kind   will enable researchers to evaluate electron dynamics in a new range of super-small particles. 

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