Recent advancements in particle acceleration technology have led to the discovery of a new method that promises to revolutionize the field. This breakthrough could significantly enhance our ...

If you could peer into a particle physicist’s daydream, you might spy a vision of a giant lunar particle accelerator. Now, researchers have calculated what such an enormous, hypothetical machine could ...

Physicists are sketching the designs of a particle accelerator that would be radically smaller and cheaper than existing facilities. The technique behind these designs, known as wakefield acceleration ...

Plasma is a state of matter that emerges when a gas is heated to sufficiently high temperatures, prompting some electrons to become free from atoms. This state of matter has been the focus of many ...

Using the High Energy Sterescopic System H.E.S.S., astrophysicists have identified colliding stellar winds from the double star Eta Carinae as a new type of source of very high-energy (VHE) cosmic ...

Ten years ago, the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator, found the Higgs boson particle, helping to explain the big bang theory and how the universe was ...
