Particle accelerators produce and accelerate beams of charged particles, such as electrons, protons and ions, of atomic and sub-atomic size. They are used not only in fundamental research for an ...

When it comes to building particle accelerators the credo has always been “bigger, badder, better”. While the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with its 27 km circumference and €7.5 billion budget ...

A particle accelerator is used for health, safety, discovery, and for learning more about our universe. You can't see what it does, but you can feel it." More for You ...

When you think of a particle accelerator, you usually think of some giant cyclotron with heavy-duty equipment in a massive mad-science lab. But scientists now believe they can create particle ...

While it may not sound like a major leap, this approach offers one big advantage: killing cancerous cells while doing less damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

When asked how he feels about this upcoming exhibit, Kim says it feels like the moment before a “collision of particles from opposite sides through the very long tunnel of particle acceleration.

Scientists have come a step closer to understanding how collisionless shock waves -- found throughout the universe -- are able to accelerate particles to extreme speeds.

A 2D projection of a particle accelerator beam, computer-generated based on generative diffusion. The process is adaptively ...
