Scientists have successfully activated the world’s smallest particle accelerator, a device as compact as a coin. This breakthrough, which could transform fields ranging from medicine to physics, ...

Physicists have now demonstrated a particle accelerator so small it fits inside a single molecule, shrinking one of science’s most imposing machines to the scale of chemistry. Instead of ...

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 ...

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A powerful new particle accelerator that could be set up at Fermilab, a telescope to observe the oldest light in the universe, and research to learn more about mysteries such as dark ...

Innovative machine learning techniques are rapidly transforming particle accelerator physics by integrating advanced data analytics with established accelerator models. This integration has led to ...

A particle accelerator that produces intense X-rays could be squeezed into a device that fits on a table, my colleagues and I have found in a new research project. The way that intense X-rays are ...

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 ...

Using off-the-shelf industrial parts, a team of researchers from the public and private sectors has created a prototype of a small particle accelerator that could have a big impact bringing the ...

TO GET to Edda Gschwendtner’s experiment, you enter a small, brutalist building at CERN, Europe’s particle physics laboratory on the outskirts of Geneva, Switzerland. You head into the lift and ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of 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 ...

Ask physicist Sekazi Mtingwa how he ended up where he is today, and he’ll start with his grandmother’s deeply religious home. Growing up there in Atlanta, young Mtingwa somehow got the idea that he ...
