Keeping high-power particle accelerators at peak performance requires advanced and precise control systems. For example, the primary research machine at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas ...

At Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has powered down for the last time, ending operations at the only particle collider still running in the United ...

Researchers from Trinity College Dublin’s School of Engineering have built a powerful new machine that lets us watch precisely what happens when tiny particles — far smaller than a grain of sand — hit ...

A micrometre-sized device that produces light by firing a beam of electrons over a slab of crystal could be used to build tiny particle accelerators and X-ray machines. Such chip-sized devices could ...

For years, physicists have been baffled by the discovery of mysterious “ghost particles”. But thanks to a new liquid dome in a futuristic underground observatory located in the hills of China, ...
