The future of particle acceleration has begun. Awake is a promising concept for a completely new method with which particles can be accelerated even over short distances. The basis for this is a ...

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) achieved the first direct laboratory observation of ion acceleration through reflection off laser-generated magnetized ...

Engineers from Caltech have discovered that Leonardo da Vinci's understanding of gravity—though not wholly accurate—was centuries ahead of his time. In an article published in the journal Leonardo, ...

Tau Systems, a producer of ultrafast, compact laser-plasma accelerators and secondary radiation sources, has announced a research collaboration with ELI ERIC and the University of Texas (UT) at Austin ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new technique for accelerating electrons to very high energies over short distances. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research ...

Things are looking brighter than ever at the Berkeley Lab Laser Accelerator (BELLA) Center run by the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. A recently completed upgrade will ...

Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) are figuring out new ways to accelerate electrons to record-high energies over record-short distances ...

You're sitting in physics class, working on a traditional problem involving forces and acceleration, when you start to wonder where these terms even came from. Were they just dreamed up to bring ...

Scientists around the world are testing ways to further boost the power of particle accelerators while drastically shrinking their size. At least when it comes to particle accelerators, bigger is ...

Scientists at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, have run the first tests on a new kind of accelerator, exploring a method that can dramatically cut the size of future particle ...
