As particle accelerator technology moves into the high-luminosity era, the need for extreme precision and unprecedented collision energy keeps growing. Given also the Laboratory's desire to reduce ...

China’s decision to halt work on what was meant to be the world’s largest particle accelerator has reshaped the global race to probe the Higgs boson and the fabric of the universe. Instead of ...

A pocket-size gizmo that puts the "pop" in microwave popcorn could soon fuel particle accelerators of the future. The small but mighty device is a magnetron—a mashup of the words "magnetic" and ...

Nagpur: Five students from Nagpur recently visited CERN in Geneva, the world's largest particle physics laboratory and the site of experiments that led to the discovery of the Higgs boson, often ...

Machines like cyclotrons and synchrotrons help scientists recreate the conditions of the Big Bang and probe the very edges of particle physics. They also tend to be very big. Now, a new study details ...

Ants are one of the most diverse groups of animals, with more than 15,000 species described so far -- and now, scientists are taking a much deeper dive into the anatomy of these small but mighty ...

There is technology being perfected to make particle accelerators 100-1000 times lower cost. This would enable production of nuclear material for space propulsion that could reach up to 0.5% of light ...
