A particle accelerator that produces intense X-rays could be squeezed into a device that fits on a table, my colleagues and I ...

In a first-of-its-kind experiment, scientists have recreated "cosmic fireballs" here on Earth in a particle accelerator.The ...

Researchers gathered pages from a Gutenberg Bible and 15th-century Confucian texts to blast them with a high-powered X-ray. Andy Altman Former Director of Video Production Andy Altman covered all ...

Atoms will reveal their secrets—you just need enough speed to coerce them. Scientists have known this since at least the 1920s, when they first started firing particles at nuclei via large tubes ...

A microchip with the electron-accelerating structures with, in comparison, a one cent coin. If you think of a particle accelerator, what may come to mind is something like CERN’s Large Hadron Collider ...

On July 5, 2022, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, restarted its machine known as a particle accelerator. The machine was restarted today after a three-year upgrade and ...

The USA has only two accelerators that can produce 10 billion electron-volt particle beams, and they're each about 1.9 miles (3 km) long. "We can now reach those energies in 10 cm (4 inches)," said ...

Chinese scientists claim they have cracked a decades-old dilemma, turning a much sought-after vision into reality.

The FINANCIAL — After three years of shutdown, the most powerful particle accelerator has been switched on today and will shortly begin another run of cutting-edge physics. The Large Hadron Collider ...

If you could peer into a particle physicist’s daydream, you might spy a vision of a giant lunar particle accelerator. Now, researchers have calculated what such an enormous, hypothetical machine could ...

The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has approved the beginning stages of the next big particle accelerator. These plans serve as one followup project to the Large Hadron Collider.
