A microchip with the electron-accelerating structures with, in comparison, a one cent coin. If you think of a particle accelerator, what may come to mind is something like CERN’s Large Hadron Collider ...

Particle accelerators are often framed as exotic machines built only to chase obscure particles, but they are really precision tools that use electric fields and magnets to steer tiny beams of matter ...

Particle accelerators smash tiny particles together to reveal the universe's building blocks. These machines have grown dramatically in size and power over time, leading to major discoveries. The ...

Physicists have now demonstrated a particle accelerator so small it fits inside a single molecule, shrinking one of science’s most imposing machines to the scale of chemistry. Instead of ...

Deep beneath the border of France and Switzerland is the most massive, most ambitious experiment ever undertaken by humanity. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator that uses a ...

Gianluca Sarri receives funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the Science and Technology Facility Council (STFC). In 2010, when scientists were preparing to ...

The European Laboratory for Elementary Particle Physics is one of the world's leading scientific institutions. Securing it ...

In 2010, when scientists were preparing to smash the first particles together within the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), sections of the media fantasized that the EU-wide experiment might create a black ...

We know that the coronavirus wreaks havoc on the lungs. About 14 percent of cases are severe, with patients’ lungs filling up with fluid, mucus, and dead cells—the aftermath of out-of-control ...
