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 ...

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 ...

In a first-of-its-kind experiment, scientists have recreated "cosmic fireballs" here on Earth in a particle accelerator.The ...

If you have ever had a PET scan at a hospital or heard about radiation treatment for cancer or brain tumours, there's a good chance a cyclotron was involved. But what is a cyclotron and how is it used ...

Physicists are sketching the designs of a particle accelerator that would be radically smaller and cheaper than existing facilities. The technique behind these designs, known as wakefield acceleration ...

Texas A&M University professor Peter McIntyre and his colleagues want to build a particle accelerator around the rim of the Gulf of Mexico in order to discover the most fundamental building blocks of ...

CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron will turn 50 in 2026—and it has a resonant “ghost.” Using mathematics, physicists measured and modeled how these resonant lines intersect. Modeling a 3D shape over time ...

The newly upgraded particle accelerator at the DoE’s Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) has produced its first X-rays. The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) upgrade, LCLS-II, can emit up to a ...
