The Large Hadron Collider is going to be shut down — not permanently, but for a pretty long time — and the famous atom ...

Scientists recently fired up the world's smallest particle accelerator for the first time. The tiny technological triumph, which is around the size of a small coin, could open the door to a wide range ...

Recent advancements in particle acceleration technology have led to the discovery of a new method that promises to revolutionize the field. This breakthrough could significantly enhance our ...

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 ...

An electrical device that generates charged particles, such as electrons, protons and ions, at high energy. So-called "nuclear accelerators" are used to split the atom for scientific research, but ...

The phrase “lightning in a bottle” is usually used as a metaphor for something rare or impossible to reproduce. In a recent ...

Experimental particle physicists working at the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory have found ...

This image, magnified 25,000 times, shows a section of a prototype accelerator-on-a-chip. The segment shown here are one-tenth the width of a human. The oddly shaped gray structures are ...

A particle accelerator sounds like it’d be something straight from a science-fiction novel, largely because most of us don’t really quite understand how they work and also because they do have a place ...

The first evidence that thunderstorms can function as huge natural particle accelerators has been collected by an international team of researchers. In a presentation at a meeting of the Royal ...

Experimental physics rarely tops the news agenda, but the 2008 launch of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) catapulted academic theories such as the search for the Higgs boson – also known as the “God ...
