A sensor design first envisioned in 1995 by physicists and engineers at SLAC plays a starring role in a major ATLAS detector upgrade at the Large Hadron Collider.

If it exists, a type of decay called neutrinoless double-beta decay will show that neutrinos are their own antiparticles and can help scientists determine their masses.

Differences between two types of black-hole-powered galaxies may reflect a change in how the galaxies extract energy from their central black holes.

After working with particle accelerators his entire professional career, Heather Rock Woods’ father placed himself in the path of a beam to fight cancer.

Understanding the origins of our solar system, the future of our planet or humanity requires complex calculations run on high-power computers.

The Planck mission released a first glimpse of data that, later this year, will test BICEP2’s discovery of gravitational waves.

About 550 visitors from all over the Bay Area came to explore a wide range of the institute’s cosmic research topics.

In a few years, scientists will come out with a new map of a third of the sky, one that will go deeper and bring that depth into sharper focus than any survey has yet achieved.

An engineer at SLAC laboratory constructed a full-scale model of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope's cryostat in his spare time.

SLAC recently hosted a forward-looking group of theoretical and experimental particle physicists. Their purpose: Follow the science to determine what a post-LHC collider could teach us about the universe.
