The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation has awarded $13.5 million for an international effort to build a working particle accelerator the size of a shoebox based on an innovative technology known as “accelerator on a chip.”

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.

It’s not easy being clean.

Scientists working at SLAC have for the first time directly observed a phenomenon that allows magnetic waves to travel a long distance with no resistance.

Science wonderland at the San Francisco Giants ballpark draws a science-enthusiastic crowd of 35,000 visitors.

KIPAC's Leonardo Senatore was among three Stanford professors to receive awards during a star-studded award ceremony Sunday night. Karl Deisseroth (pictured) took a top honor with a $3 million Breakthrough Prize in life science.

New technology and new thinking are pushing the dark matter hunt to lower and lower masses.

A team led by SLAC scientists combined powerful magnetic pulses with some of the brightest X-rays on the planet to discover a surprising 3-D effect that appears linked to a mysterious phenomenon known as high-temperature superconductivity.

Not only are we made of fundamental particles, we also produce them and are constantly bombarded by them throughout the day.
