When you think of a particle accelerator, you usually think of some giant cyclotron with heavy-duty equipment in a massive mad-science lab. But scientists now believe they can create particle ...

Physicists are sketching the designs of a particle accelerator that would be radically smaller and cheaper than existing facilities. The technique behind these designs, known as wakefield acceleration ...

Scientists recently fired up the world's smallest particle accelerator for the first time. The tiny technological triumph, which is around the size of a small coin, could open the door to a wide range ...

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 ...

Forward-looking: The European Organization for Nuclear Research, also known as CERN, is an international research laboratory operating the world's largest particle accelerator. The Large Hadron ...

RIKEN’s particle accelerator facilities are producing astatine-211, a radioisotope with great promise for selective anti-tumor therapies, says Hiromitsu Haba. RIKEN has developed a device for the ...

A particle accelerator that produces intense X-rays could be squeezed into a device that fits on a table, my colleagues and I have found in a new research project. The way that intense X-rays are ...

The Future Circular Collider (FCC) has not yet received a political green light or funding Some of the 1232 dipole magnets that bend the path of accelerated protons are pictured in the Large Hadron ...

(via Kyle Hill) On November 17th, 1992 a scientist accidentally stuck his hand in an extremely powerful beam of x-rays at a particle accelerator accelerator facility in Hanoi, Vietnam. This [HALF-LIFE ...
