China's ambitious new particle accelerator was meant to pick up where the Large Hadron Collider left off, but the project was ...

The Large Hadron Collider is going to be shut down — not permanently, but for a pretty long time — and the famous atom ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists at MIT discovered a method to create a kind of particle accelerator using a molecule of radium monofluoride. Once excited by lasers in a ...

Once a year, the Large Hadron Collider smashes lead ions. But how do scientists get a heavy metal into a particle accelerator? Inside an ordinary-looking cupboard in an ordinary-looking office, ...

AI is an integral part of many science areas around SLAC, including handling data from the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST)/Rubin Observatory, understanding the behavior of biological materials, ...

If you have ever had a PET scan at a hospital or heard about radiation treatment for cancer or brain tumours, there's a good chance a cyclotron was involved. But what is a cyclotron and how is it used ...

There is technology being perfected to make particle accelerators 100-1000 times lower cost. This would enable production of nuclear material for space propulsion that could reach up to 0.5% of light ...
