Particle accelerators, also known as particle colliders or atom smashers, have been responsible for some of the most exciting physics findings over the past century, including the discovery of the ...

Physicists have now demonstrated a particle accelerator so small it fits inside a single molecule, shrinking one of science’s most imposing machines to the scale of chemistry. Instead of ...

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 ...

Machines like cyclotrons and synchrotrons help scientists recreate the conditions of the Big Bang and probe the very edges of particle physics. They also tend to be very big. Now, a new study details ...

This system utilizes machine learning algorithms to optimize the operation of particle accelerators, reducing manual intervention and enhancing precision in real-time control. By integrating virtual ...

Energy that would normally go to waste inside powerful particle accelerators could be used to create valuable medical isotopes, scientists have found. Researchers at the University of York have shown ...

Ancient Greek astronomers made important observations regarding the night sky long before the first ...

Synchrotron radiation has revealed a star map made by the ancient astronomer Hipparchus that was thought to be lost to time ...
