Researchers at a SLAC/Stanford institute have made the first direct images of electrical currents flowing along the edges of a topological insulator – a recently discovered state of matter with potential applications in information technology.

As they say in the movie business, here's the pitch: tantalizing hints of an interaction that could demonstrate the existence of a new subatomic particle have emerged during the last months of operation of a venerable particle accelerator (the Tevatron...

Stanford University announced today that Persis S. Drell, director at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, has decided to return to her position as a faculty member.

Accelerator technology has made huge leaps forward, prompting important developments well beyond high energy physics in areas as diverse as energy and the environment, medicine, industry, national security and discovery science.

Menlo Park, Calif.—Glass, by definition, is amorphous; its atoms lack order and are arranged every which way.

Diamonds can add more than sparkle and style to X-ray experiments at the Linac Coherent Light Source.

In their search for fundamental truths, particle physicists have  a lot in common with explorers everywhere. 

Levitt shares the prize with Martin Karplus of Université de Strasbourg, France, and Harvard University, and Arieh Warshe of the University of Sout

SLAC and Stanford scientists have set a world record for energy storage, using a clever “yolk-shell” design to store five times more energy in the sulfur cathode of a rechargeable lithium-ion battery than is possible with today’s commercial technology. The...
