Four large meshes made from 2 miles of metal wire will extract potential signals of dark matter particles.

An excess of gamma rays at the center of the Milky Way, previously discussed as a sign of dark matter, is likely caused by...

SLAC cosmologists are using multiple images of the same quasars, produced by massive galaxies’ gravitational pull, to calibrate cosmic distances. Their work may help...

Early-career physicist Jonathan LeyVa helps build one of the world’s most sensitive dark matter detectors.

Honored for early theoretical predictions that helped elucidate the nature of the strong force and the structure of the proton, he is still shaking...

Four complementary analyses by Fermilab’s MicroBooNE show no signs of a theorized fourth kind of neutrino known as the sterile neutrino. Its existence is...

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory are on a quest to solve one of physics’ biggest mysteries: What exa

Nearly 200 guests attended a symposium on fundamental physics to celebrate the former deputy director’s numerous scientific contributions, which continue to have a tremendous...

Biochemical 'action shots' with SLAC’s X-ray laser could help scientists develop synthetic enzymes for medicine and answer fundamental questions about how enzymes change during...

Using SLAC's X-ray laser, researchers have for the first time directly observed myoglobin move within quadrillionths of a second after a bond breaks and...

The center complements other NIH centers at SLAC and elsewhere that broaden access to this cutting-edge technology for biomedical research.

A better understanding of these systems will aid in developing next-generation energy technologies.
