Expectations were running high. For months, the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC), an innovative particle accelerator nearing completion at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Facility (SLAC) in Palo Alto, ...

After an almost two-year shutdown for repairs and upgrades, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is beginning to fire back up for its next phase of probing the mysteries of physics. Its newest particle ...

Whenever SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory's linear accelerator is on, packs of around a billion electrons each travel together at nearly the speed of light through metal piping. These electron ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a new machine-learning platform that makes the algorithms that control particle beams and lasers smarter than ever before. Their work could help lead to the development of ...

The TRIUMF nuclear and particle physics laboratory in British Columbia is to build an extremely intense electron linear accelerator in order to produce radioactive isotopes for fundamental research ...

COME VISIT THE SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (usually called SLAC), on the edge of the Stanford University campus, to learn about the inner workings of its 2-mile-long accelerator, which is ...

The U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) has announced $16 million for fifteen projects that will implement artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) methods to accelerate scientific discovery ...

Marco Carlone, founder of Linax Technologies, talks to Tami Freeman about his motivation for creating an online learning tool that teaches medical physicists how to use and understand linear ...

Particle accelerators are the engines of particle physics research at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. They generate nearly light-speed, subatomic particles that scientists study to get to the ...
