Scientists have successfully activated the world’s smallest particle accelerator, a device as compact as a coin. This breakthrough, which could transform fields ranging from medicine to physics, ...

An international collaboration has developed a new diagnostic technique for measuring ultra-short particle beams at STFC's Central Laser Facility. This collaboration is led by the University of ...

Physicists have worked out how to make beams of muons without using a huge particle accelerator 1. Muons are subatomic particles that form when cosmic rays collide with particles in the Earth’s upper ...

As the name suggests, particle accelerators involve accelerating subatomic particles to incredibly high speeds and smashing them into tiny targets. Particle accelerators, also known as particle ...

A particle accelerator is revealing the people in 150-year-old photographs whose features had been lost to time, Science News reports. For the first time, Madalena Kozachuk, a Ph.D. candidate at ...
