Stanford Linear Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC)

The Stanford Linear Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC) is a research facility in California focused on particle physics and accelerated science. It houses one of the world's longest linear particle accelerators, which speeds up electrons and other particles for experiments that explore the fundamental nature of matter and energy. Scientists at SLAC investigate everything from the tiniest particles to the structure of the universe, contributing to our understanding of physics, biology, and materials science. SLAC also collaborates with various institutions worldwide and plays a key role in advancing technology and scientific knowledge.
