The distant universe looks a little clearer, thanks to tens of thousands of citizen scientists who classified more than 6 million images over the past three days.

Crafted in a single atomic layer, it could be a natural fit for making thin, flexible light-based electronics, as well as futuristic 'spintronics' and 'valleytronics.'

Teams from Stanford, SLAC and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln collaborate to make thin, transparent semiconductors that could become the foundation for cheap, high-performance displays.

Using an entire galaxy as a lens to look at an object in the far distance, researchers are learning more about powerful jets emitted when matter f

Editors of the journal Science, published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, have selected their annual Top 10 Science Breakthroughs of the Year. On the list: Work by SLAC researchers pinning down the origin of cosmic rays.

A study with SLAC's X-ray laser is a key step toward producing movies that show how a single molecule changes during a chemical reaction

New Technology Allows Faster, More Accurate Imaging of Hard-to-study Membrane Proteins

A discovery by SLAC researchers into how chemical reactions take place on a platinum catalyst could lead to more efficient, less costly fuel cells.

An international team led by scientists from two SLAC/Stanford institutes has devised a much faster and more accurate way of measuring subtle atomic vibrations that underlie important hidden properties of materials.

The Stanford Positron Electron Accelerating Ring (SPEAR) at SLAC was completed in 1972 and has been used by physicists to discover new particles, most notably the J/psi in 1974 and the tau in 1976.
