An invisible force has long eluded detection within the halls of the world’s most famous particle accelerator—until now.

Sometimes, solutions to multi-million-dollar questions require nothing more than a well-placed ferret. There are many stories ...

Five hundred thousand times per second, the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will record a collision.

Physicists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have uncovered new hints that certain particle decays may not behave as the ...

Nusano will bring a massive new radioisotope facility in Salt Lake City online by the end of the year, establishing a supply ...

An electrical device that generates charged particles, such as electrons, protons and ions, at high energy. So-called "nuclear accelerators" are used to split the atom for scientific research, but ...

Deep beneath the border of France and Switzerland is the most massive, most ambitious experiment ever undertaken by humanity. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator that uses a ...

Imagine a machine that could identify the materials in a work of art in mere hours, determining when it was made, identifying modern-day forgeries, or even, in the case of metal jewelry, what mine a ...

Some of the most fundamental questions about our universe are also the most difficult to answer. Questions like what gives matter its mass, what is the invisible 96 percent of the universe made of, ...

Normally, when you think of particle accelerators you think of very large structures that are made of lots of shiny metal, wires hanging from the ceiling and are normally located in remote locations.

This image, magnified 25,000 times, shows a section of a prototype accelerator-on-a-chip. The segment shown here are one-tenth the width of a human. The oddly shaped gray structures are ...

The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has approved the beginning stages of the next big particle accelerator. These plans serve as one followup project to the Large Hadron Collider.
