The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope will be named for an influential astronomer who left the field better than she found it.

As the massive LSST camera project reaches its culmination, Hannah Pollek is one of the engineers in the clean room each day putting the pieces together.

His work aims to deepen our understanding of dark matter, dark energy and other secrets of the universe.

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument begins final testing, setting the stage for a 5-year survey that will analyze the light of 35 million galaxies.

Early-career physicist Jonathan LeyVa helps build one of the world’s most sensitive dark matter detectors.

An “out there” theory inspired the development of the Dark Matter Radio, a device that could explain the mysterious matter that makes up 85 percent of the mass of our universe.

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.

A visit to SLAC in October 2018 inspired Nitin Sawhney to create an original audio composition for two short visualization movies on the origins of the universe.
