A microchip with the electron-accelerating structures with, in comparison, a one cent coin. If you think of a particle accelerator, what may come to mind is something like CERN’s Large Hadron Collider ...

Deep beneath the border of France and Switzerland is the most massive, most ambitious experiment ever undertaken by humanity. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator that uses a ...

Scientists have developed a new theoretical model for preparing particle accelerator structures made of niobium metal. The model predicts how oxygen in the thin oxide layer on the surface of the ...

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, also known as particle colliders or atom smashers, have been responsible for some of the most exciting physics findings over the past century, including the discovery of the ...

Black holes are powerful engines of pure gravity, capable of pulling on objects so intensely that they can't possibly escape. When those objects near the event horizon, they're accelerated to ...
