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 ...

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

Understanding how particles such as electrons travel vast distances in space or how they acquire ultra-high energy has been a long-standing puzzle in astrophysics. In fact, physicists’ picture of the ...

When people think of particle accelerators, they tend to think of giant structures: tunnels many miles long that electrons and protons race through at tremendous speeds, packing enormous energy. But ...

Texas A&M University professor Peter McIntyre and his colleagues want to build a particle accelerator around the rim of the Gulf of Mexico in order to discover the most fundamental building blocks of ...

The key test passed by sPHENIX to prove it is ready to measure the properties of quark-gluon plasma is called a "standard candle" in particle physics. This isn't to be confused with Type 1a supernovas ...

It is well known that the big bang is about the big explosion that happened at the beginning of the universe, but I can not actually see what the explosion was exactly. For images to be posted ...
