A beam of electrons crossed just a few millimeters of plasma, then helped trigger an effect that usually belongs to massive ...

Physicists at multiple institutions are compressing particle accelerators from facility-scale machines stretching hundreds of ...

Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy collisions produce a shower of subatomic fragments that scientists ...

Scientists are unlocking new secrets of the universe with tiny particles called plasmons. These plasmons allow researchers to confine powerful electromagnetic energy within spaces smaller than a grain ...

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. The way that intense X-rays are ...

Nuclear energy isn't exactly clean, with nuclear waste never exactly going away. But this inventive new process might help mitigate that particular problem.

Using high-intensity lasers, researchers have taken an important step toward miniaturization of particle accelerators by ...

Machines like cyclotrons and synchrotrons help scientists recreate the conditions of the Big Bang and probe the very edges of particle physics. They also tend to be very big. Now, a new study details ...

(via PBS Space Time) Cern's Large Hadron Collider routinely collides particles at energies equivalent to a fraction of a second after the Big Bang. If this worries you, then the following fact will ...

When you think of a particle accelerator, you usually think of some giant cyclotron with heavy-duty equipment in a massive mad-science lab. But scientists now believe they can create particle ...
