Particle accelerators smash tiny particles together to reveal the universe's building blocks. These machines have grown dramatically in size and power over time, leading to major discoveries. The ...

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 ...

A particle accelerator that produces intense X-rays could be squeezed into a device that fits on a table, my colleagues and I ...

Chinese scientists claim they have cracked a decades-old dilemma, turning a much sought-after vision into reality.

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 ...

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 ...

Atoms will reveal their secrets—you just need enough speed to coerce them. Scientists have known this since at least the 1920s, when they first started firing particles at nuclei via large tubes ...

A U.S. startup is developing a compact particle-accelerator-based X-ray lithography system that could surpass ASML's EUV ...
