This is the story of how particle accelerators got bigger and more powerful, and how they’ve been crucial to our understanding of the most fundamental structures and interactions in our universe.

Particle accelerators have gone from niche scientific communities to the mainstream in recent decades, and technology keeps improving.

In fact the resemblance to an artificial particle accelerator is stronger than just the fact that they both use magnetic fields. Why is the Large Hadron Collider so … what’s the word … ...

A cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator. It uses magnetic and electric fields to speed up charged particles like protons or ions to very high speeds. This allows the particles to collide with ...

Recent advancements in particle acceleration technology have led to the discovery of a new method that promises to ...

Physicists are building a particle accelerator that will smash subatomic particles together with tremendous force. What they find may solve some fundamental mysteries about how the universe is ...

Scientists have used particle accelerators to produce around 3,000 of these rare isotopes. The FRIB accelerator is 1,600 feet long and made of three segments folded in roughly the shape of a ...

This summer, physicists plan to turn on a 16-mile-long particle accelerator. It will smash together subatomic particles at incredible force. Physicist Alvaro De Rujula's $8 billion project may be ...

CERN’s particle accelerator July 5 event didn’t create a cosmic black hole. The machine also can’t shift time and space, like viral conspiracy theories claim.

An underground superconducting particle accelerator at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has been cooled down to nearly absolute zero. The extreme cooling is part of an upgrade to the Linac ...
