An ancient surprise surfaced in 1964 during construction of the 2-mile linear accelerator.

Champion of nuclear nonproliferation, former deputy director of SLAC and winner of numerous prestigious awards, Sidney Drell was a groundbreaking researcher and outstanding leader who wanted to make the world a better place.

An accomplished academic leader and longtime member of the Stanford community, Drell will become the university’s chief academic officer and chief budgetary officer. She will assume the role Feb. 1.

SLAC postdoctoral scholars recently participated in Tech Trek program to engage in a lively discussion with middle-schoolers.

The fellowship will support their research into developing new methods of imaging tiny particles and understanding the properties of the Higgs boson.

The award honors his work on a world-class experimental station at SLAC's Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource.

The lab’s signature particle highway prepares to enter another era of transformative science as the home of the LCLS-II X-ray laser.

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

When the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) begins in 2022 to take images of the entire southern night sky over and over again for 10 years, it will produce deeper, wider and faster views of the cosmos than any other...

Researchers are searching for a quantum theory of gravity that could help answer fundamental questions about the universe, from the very first moments after the Big Bang to the physics of black holes.

The medal, which recognizes distinguished physicists for outstanding statesmanship in science, honors Quinn for her work in science education.

An all-day symposium recognized the professor emeritus for his many contributions to the scientific community, from pioneering synchrotron radiation research at SSRL to making science policies on Capitol Hill.
