Scientists have activated the smallest particle accelerator ever built—a tiny device roughly the size of a coin. This advancement opens new doors for particle acceleration, promising exciting ...
Particle accelerators are usually huge structures—think of the 3.2-km-long SLAC National Accelerator Lab in Stanford, California. But scientists have been hard at work trying to shrink these ...
New experimental results show particles called muons can be corralled into beams suitable for high-energy collisions, paving the way for new physics. New experimental results show particles called ...
In 1929, Ernest Orlando Lawrence invented the cyclotron: a compact, efficient particle accelerator that used magnets. Two ...
China’s decision to halt work on what was meant to be the world’s largest particle accelerator marked a sharp turn in the ...
Texas A&M University professor Peter McIntyre and his colleagues want to build a particle accelerator around the rim of the Gulf of Mexico in order to discover the most fundamental building blocks of ...
Researchers from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of California, Los ...
The Large Hadron Collider is going to be shut down — not permanently, but for a pretty long time — and the famous atom ...
Researchers have long thought pure niobium superconducting radiofrequency cavities were best for particle accelerators. Researchers are now using a toolkit to learn how to add impurities to the ...
