Physicists working at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have performed a rare trick. In high-energy collisions of lead ...

The idea was first cooked up in 1969 after a scientist named Roger Penrose noticed that a particle getting close to a spinning black hole gained energy. New Scientist adds that another scientist, ...

Because of interference from the sun’s own magnetic field, sunspots spray out their particle beams unevenly ... perpendicular to the sun. Thus the bombardment was broadside to the earth ...

The testing demonstrated that antifuse- and flash-based FPGAs suffered no loss of configuration under alpha particle bombardment, while the tested SRAM-based FPGAs demonstrated functional failures at ...
