Particle accelerators are often framed as exotic machines built only to chase obscure particles, but they are really ...

The proton packs were invented by two of the Ghostbusters, and not only look cool, but have a realistic scientific basis. The proton pack works as an unlicensed nuclear accelerator using carbon 14 and ...

Deep beneath the border of France and Switzerland is the most massive, most ambitious experiment ever undertaken by humanity. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator that uses a ...

With the help of carbon nanotubes and laser light, this machine can create immensely powerful X-rays on a microchip, ...

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 ...

When students on campus think of a particle accelerator, a machine that launches atomic particles at incredibly high speeds into one another, they might think of Barry Allen’s origin story in The CW ...

Energy that would normally go to waste inside powerful particle accelerators could be used to create valuable medical ...

A particle accelerator that produces intense X-rays could be squeezed into a device that fits on a table, my colleagues and I have found in a new research project.

On July 5, 2022, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, restarted its machine known as a particle accelerator. The machine was restarted today after a three-year upgrade and ...

Particle accelerators have been responsible for revolutionary scientific breakthroughs, but the tech behind them isn't as ...
