An ongoing innovative project aims to revolutionize the study and preservation of cultural heritage. Known as NoMAD (Non-destructive Mobile Analysis and imaging Device), the project aims to develop ...

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 ...

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 ...

Particle accelerators are often framed as exotic machines built only to chase obscure particles, but they are really precision tools that use electric fields and magnets to steer tiny beams of matter ...

The USA has only two accelerators that can produce 10 billion electron-volt particle beams, and they're each about 1.9 miles (3 km) long. "We can now reach those energies in 10 cm (4 inches)," said ...

The Large Hadron Collider is going to be shut down — not permanently, but for a pretty long time — and the famous atom smasher’s eventual final retirement is also something that top scientists are now ...

One day, powerful particle accelerators might fit in your pocket. Two teams of physicists have built tiny structures that both accelerate electrons and keep them confined in a manageable beam, instead ...

As the massive 95-metric ton coldbox completed its cross-ocean journey, the crowd at Fermilab braving frigid winter temperatures last week could imagine what the particle accelerator being chilled to ...

PEORIA – It was no small feat when the particle accelerator, the device which produces the proton beam, arrived safe and sound Wednesday on the construction site of OSF HealthCare’s $237 million ...

Carsten P Welsch does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond ...

Advanced photonics and techniques from the microchip industry are enabling physicists to develop light-based particle accelerators as small as a grain of rice, describes Joel England Light work ...
