Contributions to LIGO have come from many Stanford teams, including SLAC, Applied Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Aeronautics and Astronautics and the School of Earth, Energy and Environmental Sciences.

Dark matter hunters around the world pursue three approaches to look for fingerprints of ghostly WIMPs: on the Earth’s surface, underground and in space.

Radiation is everywhere. The question is: How much?

The emptiest parts of the universe aren’t so empty after all.

The mysterious particle could hold the key to why matter won out over antimatter in the early universe.

He is being honored for the development of theories that help researchers better understand nature’s fundamental particles and forces.

A recent uptick in the discovery of the smallest, oldest galaxies benefits studies of dark matter, galaxy formation and the evolution of the unive

The United States and the European physics laboratory have formally agreed to partner on continued LHC research, upcoming neutrino research and a

What’s it like working on experiments over the holidays?

Dark matter hunters of the LUX collaboration have ruled out a larger-than-ever range of properties that hypothetical dark matter particles might have had.

To learn more about the particles they collide, physicists turn their attention to a less destructive type of collision in the LHC.

Scientists don’t yet know what dark matter is made of, but they are full of ideas.
