The 16-part course, currently in its pilot phase, is catered to high school students but available to anyone interested in learning about the fundamental questions in particle physics. Jeff Wiener ...

A particle accelerator that produces intense X-rays could be squeezed into a device that fits on a table, my colleagues and I ...

A slender glass fiber no thicker than a human hair placed across a particle beam could improve accelerator monitoring. A team ...

If you could peer into a particle physicist’s daydream, you might spy a vision of a giant lunar particle accelerator. Now, researchers have calculated what such an enormous, hypothetical machine could ...

When grown vertically into aligned arrays, known as nanotube “forests,” they form ideal channels for the corkscrewing laser ...

A decade ago, the Large Hadron Collider, Earth’s most powerful particle accelerator, proved the existence of an subatomic particle called the Higgs boson – thought to be a fundamental building block ...
