The European physics laboratory CERN is planning to build a mega collider by 2070. Critics say the plan could lead to ruin ...

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

A report published late last month outlines MATHUSLA, a particle detector named for the longest-lived person in the Bible.

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 ...

A European plan to build the world’s largest particle accelerator has sparked questions about humility and the frontiers of ...

Many particle accelerators rely on superconducting radiofrequency components made of niobium. Nuclear physicists found that dissolving oxygen atoms a few micrometers into niobium greatly improves the ...

At CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator, finding evidence for supersymmetry became the next great expectation after its ATLAS and CMS ...

Physicists are sketching the designs of a particle accelerator that would be radically smaller and cheaper than existing facilities. The technique behind these designs, known as wakefield ...

And you probably have access to water, if you're looking up how to make a particle accelerator rather than ... colliding with ...
