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.

Scientists at CERN, the home of the Large Hadron Collider, have just observed an astoundingly rare phenomenon at the ...

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

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 ...

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 next head of Europe's CERN physics laboratory said Thursday that he favored moving forward with plans for a giant ...

The weight allows much lower energy loss per turn through the accelerator than other particles like photon. 'What we do at ...

He's pinning his hopes on a major revamp of the Large Hadron Collider. It's the world's most advanced particle accelerator - a vast machine that smashes atoms together to break them apart and ...

A crucial tool in the arsenal of the experimental particle physicist is the particle accelerator. The fundamental particles that make up matter can briefly be revealed when matter collides ...

Particle Accelerators The evolution of these huge machines is still proceeding at a lively pace. They are used for two purposes: to "see" fundamental particles of matter and to create new ones ...

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.
