When it comes to building particle accelerators the credo has always been “bigger, badder, better”. While the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with its 27 km circumference and €7.5 billion b… ...

Physicists at the world's largest particle accelerator have made a first-of-its-kind discovery about antimatter that could help solve one of the universe's biggest mysteries.

Astrophysicists have traced a subatomic particle called a neutrino to its cosmic origins, a tidal disruption event located some 700 million light-years from Earth.

In the March 1988 issue of Popular Mechanics, sci-fi author Isaac Asimov proposed building a particle accelerator on the moon. A physicist recently revisited the idea in a paper published to the ...

An invisible force has long eluded detection within the halls of the world’s most famous particle accelerator—until now.

If one particle accelerator alone is not enough to achieve the desired result, why not combine two accelerators? Physicists have now implemented this idea. They combined two plasma-based ...

Scientists have activated the smallest particle accelerator ever built—a tiny device roughly the size of a coin. This advancement opens new doors for particle acceleration, promising exciting ...

An underground superconducting particle accelerator at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has been cooled down to nearly absolute zero. The extreme cooling is part of an upgrade to the Linac ...

The International Space Station (ISS) National Lab’s Orbital Edge Accelerator program has selected six startups for its ...

In fact the resemblance to an artificial particle accelerator is stronger than just the fact that they both use magnetic fields. Why is the Large Hadron Collider so … what’s the word … ...
