SLAC community & careers

Researchers at SLAC are developing experimental techniques to evaluate new candidates for inertial fusion energy targets. 

He was honored for his work in ultrafast physics.

On Monday, scientists and engineers reacted to the first images from the NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory, marking a historic milestone.

Shweta Saraf and her team work to ensure the LCLS beamline runs without interruption. 

Leading researchers met at SLAC on Pellegrini’s 90th birthday to honor his ongoing scientific legacy and to explore the future of X-ray free-electron laser science.

In this Q&A, Arianna Gleason discusses the technologies needed to make commercialized fusion energy a reality and how SLAC is advancing this energy frontier. 

The theorist is one of seven Stanford faculty members elected by the Academy this year, recognizing their exceptional contributions in their fields and professions.

SLAC's   deputy director for science and technology joins three others Stanford faculty as new fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

The winning teams from Fusion Academy and Joaquin Miller Middle School will continue on to nationals.

The role focuses on identifying and realizing opportunities and strengthening the coordination and execution of science and technology initiatives.

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.
