Physicists have now demonstrated a particle accelerator so small it fits inside a single molecule, shrinking one of science’s most imposing machines to the scale of chemistry. Instead of ...

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 ...

Physicists have spent decades building colossal machines to hurl subatomic particles to near light speed, but the newest frontier in accelerator technology is smaller than a fingernail. By etching ...

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 ...

Carsten P Welsch does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond ...

Atoms will reveal their secrets—you just need enough speed to coerce them. Scientists have known this since at least the 1920s, when they first started firing particles at nuclei via large tubes ...

Device deemed to burn uranium 100 times more efficiently, while cutting nuclear waste lifespan to less than a thousandth of ...
