As members of the lab’s Computer Science Division, they develop the tools needed to handle ginormous data volumes produced by the next generation of scientific discovery machines.

21 of these "science rafts" will go into the world's largest digital camera for astronomy, which is being assembled and tested at SLAC.

Around the world, scientists and non-scientists alike celebrated the first international Dark Matter Day.

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

SLAC and Stanford researchers demonstrate that brain-mimicking ‘neural networks’ can revolutionize the way astrophysicists analyze their most complex data, including extreme distortions in spacetime that are crucial for our understanding of the universe.

SLAC and Stanford astrophysicists made crucial contributions to the galaxy survey, showing that the universe clumps and expands as predicted by our best cosmological models.

The raft is part of the sensor array that will make up the crucial camera segment of the telescope.

Two astrophysicists and a theoretical physicist discuss how the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope will probe the nature of dark matter and dark energy by taking an unprecedentedly enormous scan of the sky.

Using Twinkles, the new simulation of images of our night sky, scientists get ready for a gigantic cosmological survey unlike any before.

Scientists furthered studies of the Higgs boson, neutrinos, dark matter, dark energy and cosmic inflation and continued the search for undiscovere

Can the same type of technology Facebook uses to recognize faces also recognize particles?
