Linear accelerators have become an indispensable component in the advancement of particle therapy, offering precise control over the delivery of ionising radiation for cancer treatment. The field ...

Every time two beams of particles collide inside an accelerator, the universe lets us in on a little secret. Sometimes it's a particle no one has ever seen. Other times, it's a fleeting glimpse of ...

Particle accelerators, also known as particle colliders or atom smashers, have been responsible for some of the most exciting physics findings over the past century, including the discovery of the ...

What’s the difference between a synchrotron and a cyclotron, anyway? Research in high-energy physics takes many forms. But most experiments in the field rely on accelerators that create and speed up ...

A beam of electrons crossed just a few millimeters of plasma, then helped trigger an effect that usually belongs to massive ...

Built in 1945, Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer, or ENIAC, was the world’s first digital, programmable computer—it also weighed 30 tons and was the size of a small room. Today, computers ...

Deep beneath the border of France and Switzerland is the most massive, most ambitious experiment ever undertaken by humanity. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator that uses a ...

LOS ALAMOS, N.M. (KRQE) – Los Alamos National Laboratory is celebrating 50 years of its globally sought-after linear particle accelerator. Scientists use the accelerator to study the interactions of ...

Some of the most fundamental questions about our universe are also the most difficult to answer. Questions like what gives matter its mass, what is the invisible 96 percent of the universe made of, ...
