A 2,000-year-old Herculaneum scroll buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius is filled with lost words that scholars can now ...

Particle accelerators produce and accelerate beams of charged particles, such as electrons, protons and ions, of atomic and sub-atomic size. They are used not only in fundamental research for an ...

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 ...

Machine learning (ML) is increasingly being applied in the field of particle accelerator physics to enhance operational efficiency, predict failures, and optimize performance. As particle ...

When it comes to building particle accelerators the credo has always ... it is much more efficient to collide particles head-on instead of shooting a beam on a fixed target. While before the ...

So-called "nuclear accelerators" are used to split the atom for scientific research, but most particle accelerators are built for more practical applications. They are used to manufacture myriad ...

Scientists have come a step closer to understanding how collisionless shock waves -- found throughout the universe -- are able to accelerate particles to extreme speeds. Scientists have come a ...
