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 ...

At the start of the 20th century scientists had little knowledge of the building blocks that form our physical world. By the end of the century they had discovered not just all the elements that are ...

One day, powerful particle accelerators might fit in your pocket. Two teams of physicists have built tiny structures that both accelerate electrons and keep them confined in a manageable beam, instead ...
