Planning is well underway for the successor to the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). LHC operators at CERN revealed the results of a "midterm review" of ...

NEWPORT NEWS, VA - A pocket-size gizmo that puts the “pop” in microwave popcorn could soon fuel particle accelerators of the future. The small but mighty device is a magnetron – a mashup of the words ...

Scientists have activated the smallest particle accelerator ever built—a tiny device roughly the size of a coin. This advancement opens new doors for particle acceleration, promising exciting ...

Before the RHIC shut down, it was the only operational particle collider in the U.S. and one of two heavy-ion colliders in the world, the other being the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland.

SpaceX is no longer content to just launch hardware into orbit; it now wants to recreate key parts of the space environment in its own lab. By building a proton particle accelerator, the company is ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. An international team of researchers is pushing forward with plans for a radically smaller, cheaper particle accelerator by using ...

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 ...

A recent report underscores the importance of energy consumption and cost to decisions about future large-scale particle accelerator projects. The construction of a large-scale particle accelerator ...

New research suggests that particle accelerators capable of generating intense, coherent X-rays, which are typically produced only at vast, stadium-sized facilities, may one day fit on a table. The ...

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN have successfully transmuted lead into gold — not by alchemy, but by smashing heavy ions together at nearly the speed of light. The process, ...
