Physicists have now demonstrated a particle accelerator so small it fits inside a single molecule, shrinking one of science’s most imposing machines to the scale of chemistry. Instead 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 ...

Scientists are unlocking new secrets of the universe with tiny particles called plasmons. These plasmons allow researchers to confine powerful electromagnetic energy within spaces smaller than a grain ...

NEWPORT NEWS, VA – More than 30 of the world’s most advanced particle accelerators for research are built on one technology: superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) technology. It’s typically powered by ...

Europe's physics lab CERN on Thursday said private donors had pledged $1 billion toward the construction of a new particle accelerator that would be by far the world's biggest.

An advisory committee recommends the US work to advance three key areas of emerging accelerator technology. To study some of the smallest things in the universe, particle physicists use some of the ...

Texas A&M University professor Peter McIntyre and his colleagues want to build a particle accelerator around the rim of the Gulf of Mexico in order to discover the most fundamental building blocks of ...
