Particle accelerators are crucial tools in a wide variety of areas in industry, research and the medical sector. The space these machines require ranges from a few square meters to large research ...

Scientists recently fired up the world's smallest particle accelerator for the first time. The tiny technological triumph, which is around the size of a small coin, could open the door to a wide range ...

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 ...

CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, has deployed a proton accelerator at its Education and Outreach Center. Named Experimental Linac for Surface Analysis or ELISA, this accelerator ...

Scientists at DESY (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron) have moved closer toward developing compact, powerful particle accelerators. They have successfully used their new laser system, KALDERA, to ...

An international collaboration has developed a new diagnostic technique for measuring ultra-short particle beams at STFC's Central Laser Facility. This collaboration is led by the University of ...

Particle accelerators are often framed as exotic machines built only to chase obscure particles, but they are really precision tools that use electric fields and magnets to steer tiny beams of matter ...

The CERN has recently submitted a preliminary report (FCC) proposing the design of a future particle accelerator with a 100 km circumference. If realized, this ...

One day, powerful particle accelerators might fit in your pocket. Two teams of physicists have built tiny structures that both accelerate electrons and keep them confined in a manageable beam, instead ...
