The chief of the CERN physics laboratory says China's decision to pause its major particle accelerator project presents an "opportunity" to ensure Europe's rival plan goes ahead. Ten years ago, China ...

A particle accelerator is not some kind of evil super villain torture device. A particle accelerator is used for health, safety, discovery, and for learning more about our universe. You can't see what ...

Through foundations and directly, several IT and internet billionaires have pledged almost one billion euros to the European nuclear research center for the construction of an even larger successor to ...

If you get a chance to visit a computer history museum and see some of the very old computers, you’ll think they took up a full room. But if you ask, you’ll often find that the power supply was in ...

If you want to explain what was and what is, you need particle physics. Because everything we see consists of molecules and atoms, and atoms in turn consist of atomic nuclei and electrons. The atomic ...

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 ...

Particle accelerators are usually huge structures—think of the 3.2-km-long SLAC National Accelerator Lab in Stanford, California. But scientists have been hard at work trying to shrink these ...

The Saint Louis University New Venture Accelerator (NVA) allows SLU founders to launch their entrepreneurial journeys with access to funding, resources, advisors and guidance to propel their ideas to ...

As the name suggests, particle accelerators involve accelerating subatomic particles to incredibly high speeds and smashing them into tiny targets.
