Particle accelerators, like the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland, allow scientists to study the most fundamental particles, but they operate on a massive scale. The tunnel that houses ...

Planned to be the largest particle accelerator in the world, China's Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) was meant to be about 100 kilometers or 62 miles long. That's much bigger than CERN's ...

You’ve probably seen Lichtenberg figures before, those lightning-like traces left by high-voltage discharge. The safe way to create them is using an electron beam to embed charge inside an acrylic ...

If you get a chance to visit a computer history museum and see some of the very old computers, you’ll think they took up a full room. But if you ask, you’ll often find that the power supply was in ...

ALBANY, N.Y. (WNYT)- A California-based company is getting $150M from the Trump Administration to build a particle accelerator at Albany Nanotech. Related: Race to succeed Stefanik in Congress begins ...

Trump administration will get equity stake in xLight, which has been developing particle accelerator technology at several national labs and Cornell Construction of the NanoFab Reflection, home of the ...

Every time two beams of particles collide inside an accelerator, the universe lets us in on a little secret. Sometimes it's a particle no one has ever seen. Other times, it's a fleeting glimpse of ...

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 ...

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 ...
