China's Circular Electron Positron Collider was meant to pick up where the Large Hadron Collider left off, but the project ...

The Large Hadron Collider is going to be shut down — not permanently, but for a pretty long time — and the famous atom ...

An international team of researchers is pushing forward with plans for a radically smaller, cheaper particle accelerator by using a powerful technique that's been decades in the making, known as the ...

This image, magnified 25,000 times, shows a section of a prototype accelerator-on-a-chip. The segment shown here are one-tenth the width of a human. The oddly shaped gray structures are ...

Scientists at Stanford have made a working prototype particle accelerator smaller than a human hair. Shrinking particle accelerators is a high-priority goal because of the potential in applications ...

An electrical device that generates charged particles, such as electrons, protons and ions, at high energy. So-called "nuclear accelerators" are used to split the atom for scientific research, but ...

BATAVIA, Ill. (WLS) -- Fermilab in west suburban Batavia broke ground on a new particle accelerator project Friday. The new machine will power cutting-edge physics experiments for years to come by ...

Particle accelerators could be incredibly useful for medicine – if they weren’t so huge. The SLAC accelerator, for example, is almost 2 mi (3.2 km) long, while CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) runs ...

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 phrase “lightning in a bottle” is usually used as a metaphor for something rare or impossible to reproduce. In a recent ...

A new study shows that electrons in the radiation belts can be accelerated to very high speeds locally. The study shows that magnetosphere works as a very efficient particle accelerator speeding up ...
