Predicted by Einstein and discovered in 1979, gravitational lensing helps astrophysicists understand the evolving shape of the universe.

Astrophysicists use a catalog of extended gamma-ray sources spotted by Fermi spacecraft to home in on mysterious properties of deep space.

New technology could help future SuperCDMS SNOLAB experiment expand the search for light dark matter particles

The LSST cryostat, now fully assembled, will keep the camera’s image sensors continuously cooled to minus 150 degrees Fahrenheit for crisp, high-sensitivity views of the night skies.

She’ll direct the future of astrophysics research at SLAC and Stanford for the next five years.

By capturing the most energetic light in the sky, the spacecraft continues to teach us about the mysteries of the universe.

The SuperCDMS SNOLAB project, a multi-institutional effort led by SLAC, is expanding the hunt for dark matter to particles with properties not accessible to any other experiment.

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope will track billions of objects for 10 years, creating unprecedented opportunities for studies of cosmic mysteries.

Installation of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument begins at Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona.

The astrophysicist is recognized for her leadership, mentorship and innovative work in understanding how galaxies form.

The Advanced LIGO gravitational wave detectors have announced their first observation of a binary neutron star coalescence.

System tests at SLAC continue with 32 light sensors - up from a single one - in a small-scale version of the future experiment, which will use nearly 500 of them.
