The closest star to Earth, Proxima Centauri (PC), is still about 8000 times further away from us than Pluto. Propelling a probe to PC will require a much higher cruising speed than we can currently ...

CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, has deployed a proton accelerator at its Education and Outreach Center. Named Experimental Linac for Surface Analysis or ELISA, this accelerator ...

CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron will turn 50 in 2026—and it has a resonant “ghost.” Using mathematics, physicists measured and modeled how these resonant lines intersect. Modeling a 3D shape over time ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. Object 1978.1073.01.1 is the first ...

As the massive 95-metric ton coldbox completed its cross-ocean journey, the crowd at Fermilab braving frigid winter temperatures last week could imagine what the particle accelerator being chilled to ...

Researchers have discovered that superconducting nanowire photon detectors can also be used as highly accurate particle detectors, and they have found the optimal nanowire size for high detection ...
