Launching a villager into the Minecraft sky
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Before telescopes, ancient Greek astronomers relied on naked-eye observations of the night sky to understand the universe around them. The meticulous star catalog belonging to one of the best of these ...
Planned to be the largest particle accelerator in the world, China's Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) was meant to be about 100 kilometers or 62 miles long. That's much bigger than CERN's ...
