A quartz-lined waveguide kept terahertz light synchronized with relativistic electrons, pointing toward much smaller ...

Restarting the Large Hadron Collider -- the $10 billion research tool's full name -- has been "a herculean effort," CERN's director for accelerators, Steve Myers, said in a statement announcing the ...

Particle accelerators aren’t just for testing the Standard Model. They’re also used to diagnose and treat disease and study ...

Scientists have used ultracold atoms to successfully demonstrate a novel method of particle acceleration that could unlock a new understanding of how cosmic rays behave, a new study reveals. More than ...

While scientists are known for their dedication to their research, crawling on the floor to avoid electrocution for the sake ...

With progress that ASML makes with its LPP EUV light sources for its scanners, the company is barely interesting in adopting particle accelerator-based FEL sources.

In 2016, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) approved the high-luminosity large hadron collider (HL-LHC) upgrade project. LHC is currently the largest and most powerful particle ...

Physicists are sketching the designs of a particle accelerator that would be radically smaller and cheaper than existing facilities. The technique behind these designs, known as wakefield acceleration ...

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 ...

The world’s biggest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), sits in a circular tunnel about one hundred meters beneath the Swiss French border near Geneva. It is huge—some 17 kilometers ...
