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 ...

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 ...

Texas A&M University professor Peter McIntyre and his colleagues want to build a particle accelerator around the rim of the Gulf of Mexico in order to discover the most fundamental building blocks of ...

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 ...

Palo Alto's xLight to use $150 million in Trump administration funds to build a particle accelerator at Albany NanoTech, ...

Jefferson Lab accelerator physicists to partner with national lab, university and industry colleagues for development of compact SRF accelerators for industrial settings NEWPORT NEWS, VA – ...

This sample of niobium has been treated in a process that is typical for preparing particle accelerator components. Tests have revealed how adding oxygen to such components makes them more efficient.

There is technology being perfected to make particle accelerators 100-1000 times lower cost. This would enable production of nuclear material for space propulsion that could reach up to 0.5% of light ...
