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 ...

Legendary Intel CTO and CEO Pat Gelsinger is now serving as executive chairman at xLight, a startup that develops a free electron laser (FEL) technology as a light source for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) ...

Researchers from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of California, Los ...

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 ...

Particle accelerators produce and accelerate beams of charged particles, such as electrons, protons and ions, of atomic and sub-atomic size. They are used not only in fundamental research for an ...

Every time two beams of particles collide inside an accelerator, the universe lets us in on a little secret. Sometimes it's a particle no one has ever seen. Other times, it's a fleeting glimpse of ...

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 ...
