Organic semiconductors could usher in an era of foldable smartphones, better high-definition television screens and clothing made of materials that can harvest energy from the sun needed to charge your iPad, but there is one serious drawback: Organic semiconductors do...

Spokespersons for CMS and ATLAS, the two biggest experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, announced yesterday that both experiments have found strong hints in their data of something that could be a low-mass Higgs boson – and added that they...

After five night shifts of shooting pairs of X-ray pulses through soups of fine sand and gold, Aymeric Robert was tired but exhilarated. The first experiment with an instrument he helped bring into being – the X-ray Correlation Spectroscopy (XCS)...

Its creators saw it as a great way to share information among the world’s widespread particle physics community.

If the excitement and enthusiasm of young scientists like Eric Verploegen could be pumped directly into the power grid, the world's energy problems could be solved tomorrow.

Sandy Merola, SLAC’s Chief Operating Officer, has a prominent role in a short video celebrating the 25th anniversary of ESnet, the pioneering high-bandwidth computer network that now connects thousands of DOE researchers at more than 40 different national laboratories and...

Wendy Li-Wen Mao, a mineral physicist at SLAC and Stanford, says scientists have speculated about various ways the Earth’s iron-rich core and its rocky mantle separate and interact.

Harold Hwang, professor of applied physics and photon science at Stanford and SLAC, has been elected a fellow of the American Physical Society, the largest physics association in the world.

When he’s not actually doing experiments,  SLAC  physicist and Nobel laureate Martin Perl loves to talk about important trends in physics.

In 2009, when biophysicist Ilme Schlichting and her colleagues applied to use the X-ray laser at SLAC’s Linac Coherent Light Source, they added a radical idea to their proposal: They would make all the data they collected on two viruses...
