Astronomers have discovered the first microblazar in the Milky Way, a black hole-powered particle accelerator that is ...

Does gravity act equally on all particles in the universe, or are there differences between ordinary and exotic matter?

Scientists have used ultracold atoms to successfully demonstrate a novel method of particle acceleration that could unlock a new understanding of how cosmic rays behave, a new study reveals. More than ...

The European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, will dismantle the Large Hadron Collider, which helped discover the ...

In 2016, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) approved the high-luminosity large hadron collider (HL-LHC) upgrade project. LHC is currently the largest and most powerful particle ...

Astronomers have uncovered new details about a powerful pulsar wind nebula hidden inside the CTA 1 supernova remnant, ...

A multimillion-dollar government project is betting that particle accelerators can "burn" through the world's most dangerous ...

Conceptual illustration of micronozzle acceleration (MNA). A solid hydrogen rod is embedded in an aluminum micronozzle, which channels and focuses plasma flow to optimize proton acceleration. Osaka, ...

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 ...

The world’s biggest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), sits in a circular tunnel about one hundred meters beneath the Swiss French border near Geneva. It is huge—some 17 kilometers ...

With progress that ASML makes with its LPP EUV light sources for its scanners, the company is barely interesting in adopting particle accelerator-based FEL sources.

Solar flares are among the most violent explosions in the solar system. But despite their immense energy -- equivalent to a hundred billion atomic bombs detonating at once -- physicists still haven't ...
