Physicists have recreated the mechanism behind cosmic ray acceleration in a lab for the first time using ultracold atoms and ...

The first of its kind superconducting linear particle accelerator (LINAC) built for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory is now ...

SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is home to the longest linear particle accelerator in the world. It is a whopping 3,073.72 metres long or about 2 miles and is the longest modern building on ...

A synchrotron is a particle accelerator that fires electrons into a massive ring shaped tunnel in order to generate X-rays (as opposed to SLAC's more famous linear particle accelerator, the two ...

Physicists working at the CERN particle physics lab said they detected a slight but significant difference in how particles ...

One of the greatest accomplishments of modern science is the invention of the particle accelerator. These massive machines have allowed scientists to study the fundamental laws that govern matter ...

A particle accelerator is a device that uses electric fields to propel electrically charged particles to high speeds and magnetic fields to contain them. An ordinary CRT televison set is a simple ...

The APS facility at Argonne National Lab is donut-shaped, with beams of electrons shot out from a linear particle accelerator in the center. The beams are then bent by magnets to travel in circles ...

His idea was simple: by bombarding the manuscript with X-ray photons fired at close to the speed of light using a particle ...

Current particle accelerators are divided into two primary types: circular accelerators and linear accelerators, sometimes called linacs. The "pipes" through which particles accelerate are vacuums ...

Powerful linear accelerator begins smashing atoms – 2 scientists on the team explain how it could reveal rare forms of matter ...
