An international team of researchers is pushing forward with plans for a radically smaller, cheaper particle accelerator by ...

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 ...

Physicists are sketching the designs of a particle accelerator that would be radically smaller and cheaper than existing ...

“It’s like an open ocean,” says particle physicist Pierluigi Campana ... And it could host a future linear accelerator based on one of several advanced technologies that are being developed ...

The even larger project is the Future Circular Collider. The 56-mile-long (91-kilometer) project has not yet gotten the green light or (arguably more importantly) funding, and even if it does, the ...

Scientists from Germany's DESY have come up with a two-stage correction approach to speed up electrons just like they do with ...

When you think of a particle accelerator, you usually think of some giant cyclotron with heavy-duty equipment in a massive mad-science lab. But scientists now believe they can create particle ...

DESY scientists have taken a major step in refining laser plasma acceleration, a technology that could revolutionize particle ...

Scientists have activated the smallest particle accelerator ever built—a tiny device roughly the size of a coin. This advancement opens new doors for particle acceleration, promising exciting ...

A large proportion of these radioisotopes are produced in particle accelerators, and the number of institutions that operate linear accelerators or cyclotrons and manufacture and distribute ...
