Nuclear energy isn't exactly clean, with nuclear waste never exactly going away. But this inventive new process might help ...

Deep inside every atom lies a restless world of quarks and gluons—the tiny building ...

This sample of niobium has been treated in a process that is typical for preparing particle accelerator components. Tests have revealed how adding oxygen to such components makes them more efficient.

CERN, the renowned research center housing the world's largest particle accelerator, marked its 70th anniversary on Tuesday. Physicists celebrating this milestone are committed to unraveling the ...

There is a limit to how big we can build particle colliders on Earth, whether that is because of limited space or limited economics. Since size is equivalent to energy output for particle colliders, ...

Twenty-five feet below ground, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory scientist Spencer Gessner opens a large metal picnic basket. This is not your typical picnic basket filled with cheese, bread and ...

Osaka, Japan – Using high-intensity lasers, researchers have taken an important step towards miniaturization of particle accelerators by demonstrating ...

A particle accelerator just 0.2 millimetres long is the smallest device of its kind ever built. It is the first tiny accelerator that can produce fast and well-focused bunches of electrons, and could ...

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 ...

Advanced photonics and techniques from the microchip industry are enabling physicists to develop light-based particle accelerators as small as a grain of rice, describes Joel England Light work ...

Rocky the alien is the breakout star of the movie adaptation of "Project Hail Mary." Plus, how a particle accelerator, a ...
