Particle accelerators smash tiny particles together to reveal the universe's building blocks. These machines have grown dramatically in size and power over time, leading to major discoveries. The ...

With a specialised telescope in Namibia a DESY-led team of researchers has proven a certain type of binary star as a new kind of source for very high-energy cosmic gamma-radiation. Eta Carinae is ...

Another long-standing mystery in particle physics has finally been solved. An international research team of the ALICE ...

US private fusion energy company TAE Technologies and the UK Atomic Energy Authority have announced a bilateral and ...

TAE Technologies and UKAEA are to commercialise neutral beam particle accelerator technology for fusion, cancer therapy and ...

The same accelerator technology that produced TAE's sophisticated neutral beam system for fusion has also been adapted for TAE's medtech subsidiary, TAE Life Sciences, to provide a non-invasive, ...

Researchers from Prof. Steve Sibener's group have captured the first atomic-scale images of tin on niobium during the growth process of the next generation of particle accelerators, Nb3Sn. The study, ...

It hasn't existed since the beginning of time itself, but now scientists have managed to create what they call quark soup. This substance is believed to be the smallest, hottest, and densest state of ...

Whenever SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory's linear accelerator is on, packs of around a billion electrons each travel together at nearly the speed of light through metal piping. These electron ...

An American fusion energy firm has partnered with the UK Atomic Energy Authority – the UK's national fusion laboratory – to commercialise its particle accelerator ...
