A half-mile-long tunnel under Menlo Park, California, just became colder than most of the universe. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

A particle accelerator that produces intense X-rays could be squeezed into a device that fits on a table, my colleagues and I have found in a new research project. The way that intense X-rays are ...

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

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 ...

Particle accelerators are often framed as exotic machines built only to chase obscure particles, but they are really precision tools that use electric fields and magnets to steer tiny beams of matter ...

Radio frequency (RF) systems form the cornerstone of modern particle accelerators, providing the electromagnetic fields necessary to accelerate charged particles to high energies. These systems ...

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 ...
