Scientist Helen Quinn has had a significant impact on the field of theoretical physics.

In an important step toward handling the nation’s uranium milling legacy, researchers try to understand why contamination at remediated uranium processing sites continues to persist at dangerously high levels.

SLAC’s team of dark matter hunters recently gained a new member.

Stanford and SLAC engineers observed electrons at work during catalytic reactions. Their findings challenge long-held theories about some catalysts, opening the door to new or improved renewable energy applications.

A superconducting magnet begins its journey from SLAC laboratory in California to Brookhaven Lab in New York.

His election recognizes a long history of accomplishment that began more than two decades ago at the SLAC Linear Collider.

After more than six years of grinding and polishing, the first-ever dual-surface mirror for a major telescope is complete.

Plans to build the world’s largest digital camera at SLAC have reached a major milestone, with funding approval for the 3,200-megapixel camera. The camera will be the centerpiece of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), which will provide unprecedented details...

SLAC study shows the so-called ‘pseudogap’ hoards electrons that otherwise might pair up to carry current through a material with 100 percent efficiency.

Experiments have helped explain some of the imbalance between matter and antimatter in the universe, but not all of it. Now a SLAC theorist and his colleagues have laid out a possible method for determining if the Higgs boson is...
