SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Research

SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory conducts cutting-edge research using advanced particle accelerators to explore the fundamental properties of matter and energy. By smashing particles together at high speeds, scientists can observe tiny components of atoms and understand the forces that govern the universe. This research also develops new technologies in fields like medicine, energy, and materials science, often benefiting society beyond pure scientific discovery. SLAC’s work helps answer profound questions about the universe’s origins, the behavior of subatomic particles, and innovative applications for energy and health.
