Coelacanths are strange fish that are currently only known from two species found along the East African coast and in ...

Muon colliders could slam the subatomic particles together in hopes of unlocking physics secrets. Giving muons a speed boost is a crucial step.

Fifty years ago, a team at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park made a discovery that turned the world of ...

Fermilab engineers are developing innovative solutions to build durable particle detector targets for neutrino experiments.

Researchers have long been hunting for a way to make the elusive elements more stable so they can be better studied.

Launched in March 2024, the iSAS project (Innovate for Sustainable Accelerating Systems) aims to demonstrate new technologies that drastically reduce the environmental impact of particle accelerators.

But dammit, the real world is the world we actually live in. Vancouver was my final stop, where I enjoyed the bonus of a tour of TRIUMF, Canada’s particle accelerator. The cyclotron, its gigantic ...

If researchers can figure those out, the new information may help build a more complete standard model of particle physics, as well as expand our knowledge of the inner workings of planets ...

A type of binary-system known as a microquasar has been found to be firing out γ-rays at high energy-levels, which may make it a candidate to be a long-theorized natural particle-accelerator ...

The jets also act as natural particle accelerators, pushing subatomic particles to velocities that approach the speed of light, and to energies much higher than those achieved in human-made ...

The soft-spoken University of Chicago professor said he’d like a particle accelerator. So that’s what he got. The accelerator, built in 1949 on the UChicago campus on 56th Street and Ellis Avenue, ran ...
