Researchers from Prof. Steve Sibener's group have captured the first atomic-scale images of tin on niobium during the growth process of the next generation of particle accelerators, Nb3Sn. The study, ...

With a specialised telescope in Namibia a DESY-led team of researchers has proven a certain type of binary star as a new kind of source for very high-energy cosmic gamma-radiation. Eta Carinae is ...

ALBANY, New York, April 12, 2024 (ENS) – The world’s most exciting cutting-edge Electron-Ion Collider, expected to generate fresh insights into the structure and behavior of atomic particles, will be ...

It hasn't existed since the beginning of time itself, but now scientists have managed to create what they call quark soup. This substance is believed to be the smallest, hottest, and densest state of ...

MADISON – When the world’s most powerful particle accelerator starts up later this year, exotic new particles may offer a glimpse of the existence and shapes of extra dimensions. Researchers from the ...

image: Upgrades to the particle accelerator enabling the record 1.7-megawatt beam power at the Spallation Neutron Source include adding 28 high-power radio-frequency klystrons (the red tubes) to ...

Since its inception in 2008, the LHC (large hadron collider) at CERN has been a key player in pushing the boundaries of particle physics research. Consisting of four main experiments, the circular ...

Whenever SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory's linear accelerator is on, packs of around a billion electrons each travel together at nearly the speed of light through metal piping. These electron ...

Researchers from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), have designed innovative technology that can generate both ...

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 ...

The Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory set a world record when its particle accelerator beam operating power reached 1.7 megawatts. Reaching the 1.7 megawatts of power ...

The USA has only two accelerators that can produce 10 billion electron-volt particle beams, and they're each about 1.9 miles (3 km) long. "We can now reach those energies in 10 cm (4 inches)," said ...
