Using high-intensity lasers, researchers have taken an important step toward miniaturization of particle accelerators by ...

In the blue corner, we have the VENUS FLYTRAP! In the red corner, we have the underdog of the century, AN ENTIRE PARTICLE ACCELERATOR. Yes, you read that right. When you have a particle accelerator, ...

A new particle has popped into existence at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, a heavier proton-like particle that contains two charm quarks. Protons and neutrons are examples of a class of particles ...

Researchers have developed a high-tech system that rapidly scans ants and converts them into detailed 3D models. Using a synchrotron accelerator, X-ray imaging, robotics, and AI, the team scanned ...

A 3.7 centimetre-wide robot has been designed to travel along the 27-kilometre Large Hadron Collider to allow remote inspections of the world’s most powerful particle accelerator. CERN, the European ...

The Gotham Film & Media Institute and Laika have launched an animation accelerator program which is designed to support early and mid-career animators. The Laika x Gotham Animation Accelerator aims to ...

The Gotham Film & Media Institute and Laika have announced a new initiative designed to bolster the careers of emerging animation filmmakers. The Laika x Gotham Animation Accelerator is a six-month ...

U.S. scientists are developing an innovation that could reduce nuclear waste storage time by 99.7%, transmuting long-lived radioactive materials into shorter-lived isotopes. The Jefferson Lab project, ...

As foretold, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider—among the most powerful heavy-ion colliders in the world, second only to CERN’s LHC—ran its final particles and ceased operations last Friday. This is ...

The Sun unleashes a torrent of charged particles. Some of them slam into the Earth’s atmosphere, triggering breathtaking auroras in the night sky. But for equipment that’s orbiting our planet in outer ...

Researchers are using an instrument at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory to uncover the original text of reused parchments. Jacqueline Ramseyer Orrell / SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory A ...
