The U.S. Department of Energy is betting $40 million that particle accelerators can crack one of nuclear power’s oldest problems: what to do with spent fuel that stays dangerously radioactive for ...

Researchers at the DOE’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility are advancing two high-stakes projects ...

A particle accelerator that produces intense X-rays could be squeezed into a device that fits on a table, my colleagues and I have found in a new research project. The way that intense X-rays are ...

(via PBS Space Time) Cern's Large Hadron Collider routinely collides particles at energies equivalent to a fraction of a second after the Big Bang. If this worries you, then the following fact will ...

Machines like cyclotrons and synchrotrons help scientists recreate the conditions of the Big Bang and probe the very edges of particle physics. They also tend to be very big. Now, a new study details ...

A team of physicists used ChatGPT to help crack a long-standing problem in quantum field theory, producing a new closed-form expression for single-minus gluon tree amplitudes that specialists had ...

When students on campus think of a particle accelerator, a machine that launches atomic particles at incredibly high speeds into one another, they might think of Barry Allen’s origin story in The CW ...

Alfredo has a PhD in Astrophysics and a Master's in Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces from Imperial College London. Alfredo has a PhD in Astrophysics and a Master's in Quantum Fields and ...

Shifting from giant accelerators 26 km (16 miles) across to brain surgery theaters, a particle detector first developed by physicists at CERN is being used by scientists in Germany to treat brain ...
