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 accel… ...

Particle accelerators are big projects; they can’t be done by small teams of scientists working alone; they need big teams, ... On the other hand, in the meantime, ...

Particle accelerators like the famous Large Hadron Collider (LHC) reveal the origin of matter and help us understand the universe’s makeup. Scientists use these giant machines to find answers ...

An invisible force has long eluded detection within the halls of the world’s most famous particle accelerator—until now.

Most particle accelerators use electromagnets to guide their particles along the arc. Electromagnets get their magnetic strength from running electricity around them; turn off the switch, and the ...

Scientists have used ultracold atoms to successfully demonstrate a novel method of particle acceleration that could unlock a ...
