The USA has only two accelerators that can produce 10 billion electron-volt particle beams, and they're each about 1.9 miles (3 km) long. "We can now reach those energies in 10 cm (4 inches)," said ...

Accelerator scientists are in demand at labs and beyond. While the supply of accelerator physicists in the United States has grown modestly over the last decade, it hasn’t been able to catch up with ...

How it could work: electrons are injected into the dielectric laser accelerator (centre) from a source at the top left. The cavities are within the turquoise and gold bars, which are illuminated with ...

Any accident in the history of science should serve as a reminder that safety should always remain the most important principle for people who work in the field. Even though some knowledge was ...

Nuclear physics students at Norte Dame will soon get the chance to use a machine that will search for environmental toxins. It’s called an accelerator and it will be the third one to be installed on ...

Particle accelerators have plenty to teach us about the mysterious forces and matter that makes up the universe, but these facilities aren't exactly portable, involving kilometers of tunnels and ...

Accelerator experts have used a laser to manipulate electron bunches at PTB's Metrology Light Source so that they emitted intense light pulses having a laser-like character. Using this method, ...
