Five-year funding commitment is to support fundamental research

The US, Europe and China are all planning particle colliders that would study the Higgs boson.

Scientists have gained insights into the weak nuclear force from new, more sensitive studies of the beta decays of the “mirror” nuclei lithium-8 and boron-8

A transition edge sensor (TES) is a microcalorimeter based on superconductivity. Compared with alternative technologies like energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), a TES can provide higher resolution measurements and resolve emission lines at closely adjacent energies. In astrophysics, TES is used to measure the relative abundance of elements like boron, carbon, and oxygen versus silicon

Bay Area scientists have spent two decades developing and completing the world's largest digital camera at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.

Once installed on a telescope in Chile, the 3,200-megapixel LSST Camera will help scientists better understand dark matter, dark energy, and other mysteries of our universe. After two decades of work, scientists and engineers at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and th

During a walk in the Scottish Highlands, one of the greats of particle physics had the idea of a lifetime

The discovery of the Higgs Boson in 2012 signalled the need for physicists to begin exploring physics beyond parameters they were used to. Higgs spent 50 years of his life searching for a single particle – Higgs Boson – that gives almost all other particles their mass
