Researchers at SLAC have for the first time seen a spin current – an inherent magnetic property common to all electrons – as it travels across materials.

The CMS and ATLAS experiments combined forces to more precisely measure properties of the Higgs boson.

A major international effort at SLAC is focused on improving our views of intact viruses, living bacteria and other tiny samples using the brightest X-ray light on Earth.

In a first-of-its-kind experiment, scientists got a textbook-worthy result that may change the way matter is probed at X-ray free-electron lasers.

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope’s ‘Eye’ Will be Built at SLAC.

Theorists from the Institute for Advanced Study have proposed a way forward in the quest to test string theory.

Exploding stars have an immense capacity to destroy—and create.

How can we figure out when the universe began?

Scientists on the Dark Energy Survey, using one of the world’s most powerful digital cameras, have discovered eight more faint celestial objects hovering near our Milky Way galaxy.

Scientists have revealed never-before-seen details of how our brain sends rapid-fire messages between its cells using SLAC's X-ray laser.
