Researchers gathered pages from a Gutenberg Bible and 15th-century Confucian texts to blast them with a high-powered X-ray. Andy Altman Former Director of Video Production Andy Altman covered all ...

Particle accelerators (often referred to as “atom smashers”) use strong electric fields to push streams of subatomic particles—usually protons or electrons—to tremendous speeds. Accelerators by the ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. On July 5, marking the end of a three-year hiatus, CERN’s Large ...

(via Kyle Hill) On November 17th, 1992 a scientist accidentally stuck his hand in an extremely powerful beam of x-rays at a particle accelerator accelerator facility in Hanoi, Vietnam. This [HALF-LIFE ...

Radio frequency (RF) systems form the cornerstone of modern particle accelerators, providing the electromagnetic fields necessary to accelerate charged particles to high energies. These systems ...

The Large Hadron Collider is going to be shut down — not permanently, but for a pretty long time — and the famous atom ...

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 European Space Agency’s (ESA) Cluster satellites have discovered that cosmic particle accelerators are more efficient than previously thought. The discovery has revealed the initial stages of ...

Innovative machine learning techniques are rapidly transforming particle accelerator physics by integrating advanced data analytics with established accelerator models. This integration has led to ...

A computer-generated image based on a generative diffusion process shows 2D projections of a particle accelerator beam. Starting from pure noise, signals from the accelerator adaptively guide the ...

Particle accelerators are usually huge structures—think of the 3.2-km-long SLAC National Accelerator Lab in Stanford, California. But scientists have been hard at work trying to shrink these ...
