All of this occurs in less than a hair’s width, on the surface of a vacuum-sealed silicon chip, made by team members at Stanford. The researchers want to accelerate electrons to 94 percent of the ...

Scientists trying to discover the elusive mass of neutrinos, tiny "ghost particles" that could solve some of the universe's biggest mysteries, announced a new limit on Thursday for how much they could ...

The Future Circular Collider (FCC) collaboration submitted its Conceptual Design Report (CDR) for publication, a four-volume document that presents the different options for a large circular collider ...

Scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research are currently exploring the feasibility of a 100 tera-electron-volt (TeV) particle accelerator through a new cooling design scheme that ...

This computer graphic shows one of the first collisions recorded between two lead ions at the Large Hadron Collider’s top energy. The energy in the center-of-mass system is approximately a quadrillion ...

Figure 1: Electron (candidate) event image in the TeV region observed on Oct. 14 during the initial verification and data calibration (presented by particle number converted from pulse height) Figure ...

Electron Transfer in a Hypothetical System Containing a Single Molecule. Quantum theory tells us that electrons in atomic orbitals occupy discrete levels of energy that may be determined from the wave ...
