NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory will add an unprecedented amount of cosmological data to the study of the structure and expansion of the Universe.

A look inside the data processing infrastructure built by the NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory to handle the Universe’s greatest data challenge.

Now that NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s LSST Camera has been installed, what’s next?

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.

Rubin Observatory’s rapid scanning of the night sky will capture the largest sample of Type Ia supernovae yet, unlocking new insights into dark energy.

The microelectronics that power daily life and speed discoveries in science and technology are the focus of a bold new vision to make them more energy efficient and able to operate in extreme environments.

A new center brings astrophysics, data science, and AI together to answer some of the universe’s biggest questions.

In 1974, the independent discovery of the J/psi particle at SLAC and Brookhaven National Laboratory rocked the physics world, and entire textbooks had to be rewritten. Earlier this month, SLAC hosted a symposium to celebrate the milestone.
