Results from SIMES theorists pave the way for experiments that create and control new forms of matter with light.

Two recent meetings at SLAC brought together experts working on computer hardware and software for LSST – a future telescope that will provide unprecedented views of the sky and may solve some of the biggest mysteries of the universe.

Physicists and other scientists use the GEANT4 toolkit to identify problems before they occur.

Understanding the origins of our solar system, the future of our planet or humanity requires complex calculations run on high-power computers.

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

A new tool for analyzing mountains of data from SLAC’s Linac Coherent Lightsource (LCLS) X-ray laser can produce high-quality images of important proteins using fewer samples. Scientists hope to use it to reveal the structures and functions of proteins that...

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.

In scientific circles, “mock” is not always a four-letter word. To test that they’re interpreting their massive amounts of data correctly, astrophysicists create even more data: “mock” data. And while that may be counterintuitive at first, it actually makes a...

If Benjamin Franklin were alive today, he would likely extend his often-quoted list of life's certainties – death and taxes – to include more and more data. SLAC computer scientist Jacek Becla couldn't agree more. As founder of the Extremely...

Years of Work by KIPAC Scientists To Be Put to the Test
