NEWPORT NEWS, VA - A pocket-size gizmo that puts the “pop” in microwave popcorn could soon fuel particle accelerators of the future. The small but mighty device is a magnetron – a mashup of the words ...
Dielectric laser accelerators (DLAs) provide a compact and cost-effective solution to this problem by driving accelerator nanostructures with visible or near-infrared (NIR) pulsed lasers, resulting in ...
Particle accelerators are often framed as exotic machines built only to chase obscure particles, but they are really precision tools that use electric fields and magnets to steer tiny beams of matter ...
Booster shot: a section of an accelerator-on-a-chip. The grey structures focus infrared laser light (shown in yellow and purple) on electrons flowing through the centre channel. The structure is about ...
The Large Hadron Collider is known for discovering the Higgs boson, but the technologies used in accelerating and detecting new particles also have uses outside of high-energy physics. Carsten Welsch ...
Scientists have invented a new type of accelerator structure that could make accelerators used for a given application 10 times shorter. Particle accelerators generate high-energy beams of electrons, ...
