Plasma is a state of matter that emerges when a gas is heated to sufficiently high temperatures, prompting some electrons to ...

As the name suggests, particle accelerators involve accelerating subatomic particles to incredibly high speeds and smashing ...

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 ...

A magical particle acceleration 'spectacle' is unfolding around distant Jupiter. This is not a scene from a science fiction ...

Scientists recently fired up the world's smallest particle accelerator for the first time. The tiny technological triumph, which is around the size of a small coin, could open the door to a wide range ...

With the help of special telescopes, researchers have observed a cosmic particle accelerator as never before. Observations made with the gamma ray observatory H.E.S.S. in Namibia show for the first ...

The USA has only two accelerators that can produce 10 billion electron-volt particle beams, and they're each about 1.9 miles (3 km) long. "We can now reach those energies in 10 cm (4 inches)," said ...

On July 5, 2022, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, restarted its machine known as a particle accelerator. The machine was restarted today after a three-year upgrade and ...

When students on campus think of a particle accelerator, a machine that launches atomic particles at incredibly high speeds into one another, they might think of Barry Allen’s origin story in The CW ...
