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

Scientists recently fired up the world's smallest particle accelerator for the first time. The tiny technological triumph, which is around the size of a small coin, could open the door to a wide range ...

China's ambitious new particle accelerator was meant to pick up where the Large Hadron Collider left off, but the project was ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of California, Los ...

Scientists at CERN, the home of the Large Hadron Collider, have just observed an astoundingly rare phenomenon at the subatomic level that could lead to a new understanding of the standard model of ...

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 ...

Subcritical Systems Inc., an Austin-based energy technology company, announced today that it plans to pursue licensing for its accelerator-driven subcritical energy system under the existing U.S.
