Scientists have activated the smallest particle accelerator ever built—a tiny device roughly the size of a coin. This advancement opens new doors for particle acceleration, promising exciting ...

Using off-the-shelf industrial parts, a team of researchers from the public and private sectors has created a prototype of a small particle accelerator that could have a big impact bringing the ...

Nuclear energy isn't exactly clean, with nuclear waste never exactly going away. But this inventive new process might help ...

The muon collider was once dismissed as impossible, but is now gaining steam as the successor to the Large Hadron Collider.

New experimental results show particles called muons can be corralled into beams suitable for high-energy collisions, paving the way for new physics. New experimental results show particles called ...

Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The ...
