This orientation map of a nitrogen-doped sample of niobium shows the formation of niobium nitrides (rainbow-colored shards) within grains and along grain boundaries (the grain boundaries shown are the ...

As the name suggests, particle accelerators involve accelerating subatomic particles to incredibly high speeds and smashing ...

Nuclear fusion is a dream of many green energy enthusiasts. Rather than split heavy nuclei apart to release energy, future fission reactors would capture the energy released when lightweight nuclei ...

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 ...

Legendary Intel CTO and CEO Pat Gelsinger is now serving as executive chairman at xLight, a startup that develops a free electron laser (FEL) technology as a light source for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) ...

Mr. Proud, who became a U.S. citizen in 2019, put together a policy paper for the first Trump administration, calling for a ...

New experimental results show particles called muons can be corralled into beams suitable for high-energy collisions, paving the way for new physics. New experimental results show particles called ...

Researchers have long thought pure niobium superconducting radiofrequency cavities were best for particle accelerators. Researchers are now using a toolkit to learn how to add impurities to the ...
