Monika Schleier-Smith and Kent Irwin explain how their projects in quantum information science could help us better understand black holes and dark matter.

Some theorists have taken to designing their own experiments to broaden the search for dark matter.

Physicists often find thrifty, ingenious ways to reuse equipment and resources.

SLAC scientists find a new way to explain how a black hole’s plasma jets boost particles to the highest energies observed in the universe. The results could also prove useful for fusion and accelerator research on Earth.

During the last four years, LHC scientists have filled in gaps in our knowledge and tested the boundaries of the Standard Model.

An advisory committee is evaluating proposals for first experiments at SLAC’s future FACET-II accelerator facility.

Our best model of particle physics explains only about 5 percent 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.

A specialized measuring machine at SLAC is helping scientists build precise detectors for the ATLAS experiment.

In a first, researchers measure extremely small and fast changes that occur in plasma when it’s zapped with a laser. Their technique will have applications in astrophysics, medicine and fusion energy.

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

SLAC researchers play an important role in the data acquisition of the largest liquid-argon neutrino detector in the world, a prototype for the future Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.
