Physicists at multiple institutions are compressing particle accelerators from facility-scale machines stretching hundreds of meters down to devices that fit on a laboratory bench or even a silicon ...

Physicists are using the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to test key accelerator strategies for a new state-of-the-art Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) that will reuse some of RHIC's crucial ...

Inside a cavernous hall at the Swiss-French border, the air hums with high voltage and possibility. From his perch on the wraparound observation deck, physicist Walter Wuensch surveys a ...

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 ...

Twenty-five feet below ground, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory scientist Spencer Gessner opens a large metal picnic basket. This is not your typical picnic basket filled with cheese, bread and ...

With dual lasers, researchers have accelerated a high-quality beam of electrons to 10 billion electronvolts in just 30 centimeters. The experiment gives scientists a 'frame-by-frame' look at how a ...

It is just over a year since Cern, home to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), became the base for the three-year pilot phase of the Open Quantum Institute (OQI). The OQI is a multi-stakeholder, global, ...
