Standard Model of the Universe Withstands Most Precise Test by Dark Energy Survey
SLAC and Stanford astrophysicists made crucial contributions to the galaxy survey, showing that the universe clumps and expands as predicted by our best cosmological models.
Dusting for the Fingerprint of Inflation with BICEP3
A new experiment at the South Pole picks up where BICEP2 left off.
SLAC, Stanford Scientists Play Key Roles in Confirming Cosmic Inflation
Two scientists at Stanford University and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory made key contributions to the discovery of the first direct evidence for cosmic inflation – the rapid expansion of the infant universe in the first trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second after the Big Bang.
Physicists Find Evidence of Cosmic Inflation
Researchers from the BICEP2 collaboration have announced the first direct evidence supporting the theory of cosmic inflation. Their data also represent the first images of gravitational waves, or ripples in space-time. These waves have been described as the "first tremors of the Big Bang."
