SpaceX is taking significant steps toward improving the durability and reliability of its spacecraft and satellites by building its own particle accelerator in Florida. This new development was ...

A rare view of a component inside a particle accelerator. If you’ve ever wondered what an electron sees as it whizzes around a particle accelerator at the speed of light, then one photographer has ...

Here's what you'll learn when you read this story: Scientists at MIT discovered a method to create a kind of particle accelerator using a molecule of radium monofluoride. Once excited by lasers in a ...

Nobel laureate Ernest Rutherford had already shown that radioactive materials sometimes emitted particles, naturally changing the makeup of their atomic nuclei. When energetic particles collided with ...

Misha Glenny and guests discuss the machines that are described as the world’s largest experiments: Particle Accelerators. A famous example of a Particle Accelerator is the Large Hadron Collider, a ...

Atoms will reveal their secrets—you just need enough speed to coerce them. Scientists have known this since at least the 1920s, when they first started firing particles at nuclei via large tubes ...

As particle accelerator technology moves into the high-luminosity era, the need for extreme precision and unprecedented collision energy keeps growing. Given also the Laboratory's desire to reduce ...

Here's what you'll learn when you read this story: CERN's Super Proton Synchrotron will turn 50 in 2026—and it has a resonant "ghost." Using mathematics, physicists measured and modeled how these ...

While scientists are known for their dedication to their research, crawling on the floor to avoid electrocution for the sake of a measurement seems a little excessive. But this is what British ...
