Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy collisions produce a shower of subatomic fragments that scientists ...

Using high-intensity lasers, researchers have taken an important step toward miniaturization of particle accelerators by demonstrating free-electron laser amplification at extreme ultraviolet ...

A beam of electrons crossed just a few millimeters of plasma, then helped trigger an effect that usually belongs to massive research sites. In this case, the light produced fell in the extreme ...

This video demonstrates the construction and operation of a large-scale mechanical structure in Minecraft referred to as a particle accelerator. The build consists of an expansive, inverted pyramid ...

Traditional particle accelerators, including radiofrequency linear accelerators and synchrotrons, have pushed physics forward for decades. They are also expensive, physically large, and limited in how ...

Electron Impressions, a YouTube channel that publishes various videos using particle accelerators, explained the results of an experiment on what happens when a Venus flytrap is placed in a particle ...

Proof-of-concept experimental setup used to generate an extreme ultraviolet (XUV) free-electron laser (FEL) driven by a laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) electron beam. An intense laser pulse, ...

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, ...

Boron neutron capture therapy is being used in Japan to target and treat head and neck tumours. Many other countries are now building facilities. In 2020, Japan became the first country to approve ...
