Synchrotron radiation has revealed a star map made by the ancient astronomer Hipparchus that was thought to be lost to time ...

Description: Hospitals have all sorts of amazing tools, and some might even have a particle accelerator hiding somewhere in ...

Mark Thomson, the new head of Europe's physics laboratory CERN, voiced confidence Tuesday about raising the billions of dollars needed to build by far the world's biggest particle accelerator.

If you want to make particles move really fast, you have to build a particle accelerator that is really big, right? Not ...

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 ...

So-called forever chemicals or PFAS compounds are a growing environmental problem. An innovative approach to treating ...

Researchers from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), have designed innovative technology that can generate both ...

The Large Hadron Collider is going to be shut down — not permanently, but for a pretty long time — and the famous atom smasher’s eventual final retirement is also something that top scientists are now ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: It used to be thought that bizarre interactions between subatomic particles known as neutrinos could be explained by another type of neutrino. The ...

Notoriously ghostly particles called neutrinos may have revealed a crack in our understanding of all the particles and forces in the universe. The standard model of particle physics, which catalogues ...

Researchers in Japan are developing world-leading expertise in making and using the alpha particle emitter, astatine-211 (211 At), which has potential for use as a strong radionuclide therapy for ...

Classical and quantum mechanics don’t really get along as the science of the subatomic can get, well, weird. Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be ...
