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

This was considered the true birth of particle accelerators and in fact, the current generation of linear colliders are still relying on the same principle. Rolf Winderöe was the first to build ...

The LHC is still in operation. But CERN is already planning its successor, which will have a circumference of over 90 ...

Scientists carefully positioned lasers to compress billions of electrons together, creating a beam five times more powerful ...

Particle accelerators can be linear (straight) or circular in shape and have many different sizes. They can be tens of kilometres long or fit in a small room, but all accelerators feature four ...

Try to fathom the power of 1 million nuclear power plants. Now, imagine there is a way to pack the equivalent of that into ...

The facility produces neutrons by accelerating protons down a 300-meter-long linear accelerator and into a liquid ... A megawatt is a unit of measure of the beam power of a particle accelerator. The ...

A group of physicists appointed by the CERN Council is now conducting a ‘strategy update’, soliciting input from the physics ...
