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 ...

In a groundbreaking leap that seems almost out of a sci-fi novel, physicists have engineered a marvel of modern science—a particle accelerator so tiny, it could rest on a coin! Yes, you read that ...

Researchers have successfully activated the world's smallest particle accelerator, called a nanophotonic electron accelerator (NEA). It uses miniature laser beams to accelerate electrons, marking a ...

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 ...

When people think of particle accelerators, they tend to think of giant structures: tunnels many miles long that electrons and protons race through at tremendous speeds, packing enormous energy. But ...

Particle accelerators are crucial tools in a wide variety of areas in industry, research and the medical sector. The space these machines require ranges from a few square meters to large research ...
