The accelerator complex at CERN is a succession of machines that accelerate particles to increasingly higher energies. Each machine boosts the energy of a beam of particles before ...

A new imaging technique using a particle accelerator is giving researchers an unprecedented level of detail of our organs, producing scans 100 billion times brighter than a CT scanner. Those 3D models ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Inside a cavernous hall at the Swiss-French border, the air hums with high voltage and possibility. From his perch on the wraparound observation deck, physicist Walter Wuensch surveys a ...

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, ...
