The ARPANET was a project started by the Defense Department’s Advanced Research Project Agency in 1969 to network different ...

Proton beams with giga-electron-volt (GeV) energies—once thought to be achievable only with massive particle accelerators—may soon be generated in compact setups thanks to a breakthrough by ...

Today, the world's most advanced chips are made with extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light, a technology dominated by Dutch giant ASML. Their machines use 13.5-nanometer light to ...

New data from particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), an "atom smasher" at the U.S. Department of ...

Plans are underway to build a new particle accelerator, the Future Circular Collider (FCC), which aims to surpass the scope and power of the currently largest and most powerful in the world, the Large ...

Why build a large particle accelerator when there are much larger ones in space? Supermassive black holes could become the future research sites where scientists gain insights into dark matter ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the most powerful particle accelerator on the planet, can provide a tremendous amount of energy to particles and ions, making them go up to 99.9999991 percent the ...

We can create and study them, even with such short lives, through instruments like the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a giant particle accelerator that works by smashing beams of particles into each ...

The plasma-based approach enables devices much smaller than conventional particle accelerators. The status of plasma-based acceleration of electrons and positrons is discussed, with a focus on ...

A crucial tool in the arsenal of the experimental particle physicist is the particle accelerator. The fundamental particles that make up matter can briefly be revealed when matter collides ...

We are grateful for the Diagnostics Accelerator's continued support and leadership in the field." External quality control testing confirms laboratory accuracy and reliability by comparing test ...
