A team of scientists generated a giant cosmic simulation—and now they're giving it away.

LSST Will Capture Unprecedented View of Night Sky

Step on a scale and you’ll get a quick measure of your weight. Weighing galaxy clusters, groups of hundreds or thousands of galaxies bound together by gravity, isn’t so easy. But scientists have many ways to do it.

Together, three experiments, two with major SLAC contributions, will search for a variety of types of dark matter particles.

Two dark matter hunters with decades of experience between them are turning SLAC into their base of operations for LZ, the next big dark matter search.

The Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel’s report, released today, recommends a strategic path forward for US particle physics.

The Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel’s recommendations will set the course for the future of particle physics in the United States.

Scientists say collisions between dark matter particles might be the cause of a curious excess of gamma-ray light coming from the center of our ga

Two scientists at Stanford University and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory made key contributions to the discovery of the first direct evidence for cosmic inflation – the rapid expansion of the infant universe in the first trillionth of a trillionth of...

In a newly announced result from the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment, scientists have placed a more stringent limit on "light," or low-mass, dark matter. SLAC and Stanford members of CDMS created the detectors used in the search, and SLAC...

Teachers are using Google+ to bring their classes behind the scenes at national laboratories and to teach students about careers in STEM.

SLAC's Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIPAC) recently hosted many of the top scientists in the field to discuss the most important questions to confront in the coming decade.
