Now, some researchers hope to generate more powerful EUV beams with a particle accelerator that propels electrons to nearly ...

The European physics laboratory CERN is planning to build a mega collider by 2070. Critics say the plan could lead to its ...

Researchers discover collisionless shock waves as cosmic engines accelerating subatomic particles in space to extreme speeds.

The process gives the physicists clues about how the particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. The instruments used at CERN are purpose-built particle accelerators ...

Immense detectors surround the areas where inconceivably small particles slam into one another at super-high energies, collisions that may confirm Arkani-Hamed's predictions about undiscovered ...

For the first time, scientists have directly measured a weak r-process reaction using a radioactive ion beam, shedding light ...

Abstract: Particle accelerators are composed of various components, and their properties are finely tuned to optimize certain particle beam qualities as they accelerate. In particular, particle ...

Hidden under a staircase in the Physics Building is the Purdue Rare Isotope Measurement Laboratory, a facility two stories underground housing a particle accelerator. Marc Caffee, Director of ...
