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

China’s decision to halt work on what was meant to be the world’s largest particle accelerator marked a sharp turn in the ...

China’s decision to halt work on what was meant to be the world’s largest particle accelerator has reshaped the global race ...

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 (often referred to as “atom smashers”) use strong electric fields to push streams of subatomic particles—usually protons or electrons—to tremendous speeds. Accelerators by the ...

Whenever SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory's linear accelerator is on, packs of around a billion electrons each travel together at nearly the speed of light through metal piping. These electron ...

Jefferson Lab Senior SRF Accelerator Physicist Haipeng Wang displays the core of a cavity magnetron during an April 2024 lab tour. NEWPORT NEWS, VA - A pocket-size gizmo that puts the “pop” in ...

In an advance that could shrink particle accelerators used for science and medicine, researchers at the Stanford Linear Accelerator and Stanford University used a laser to accelerate electrons at a ...

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 ...

In 2010, when scientists were preparing to smash the first particles together within the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), sections of the media fantasized that the EU-wide experiment might create a black ...
