LSST Will Capture Unprecedented View of Night Sky

The Higgs boson could be the tool that leads scientists to the next big discovery.

With two SLAC researchers in the lead, an analysis of the enigmatic Fermi bubbles has narrowed down the number of possibilities for their origin, but hasn't completely solved the puzzle.

Photon science, a spin-off of particle physics, has returned to its roots for help developing better, faster detectors.

Researchers have taken a big step toward accomplishing what battery designers have been trying to do for decades – design a pure lithium anode.

Step on a scale and you’ll get a quick measure of your weight. Weighing galaxy clusters, groups of hundreds or thousands of galaxies bound together by gravity, isn’t so easy. But scientists have many ways to do it.

A determined volunteer gives an old detector new life as the centerpiece of a cosmic ray exhibit.

Highly Efficient Nanoparticles Could Bring Down the Cost of Fuel Cells

Scientists from two experiments have banded together to create a single comprehensive record of their work for scientific posterity.
