Particle accelerators, also known as particle colliders or atom smashers, have been responsible for some of the most exciting physics findings over the past century, including the discovery of the ...

Jefferson Lab accelerator physicists to partner with national lab, university and industry colleagues for development of compact SRF accelerators for industrial settings NEWPORT NEWS, VA – ...

A microchip with the electron-accelerating structures with, in comparison, a one cent coin. If you think of a particle accelerator, what may come to mind is something like CERN’s Large Hadron Collider ...

Physicists have spent decades building colossal machines to hurl subatomic particles to near light speed, but the newest frontier in accelerator technology is smaller than a fingernail. By etching ...

Black holes are powerful engines of pure gravity, capable of pulling on objects so intensely that they can't possibly escape. When those objects near the event horizon, they're accelerated to ...

Alex Bogacz, a senior scientist at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility since 1997, has spent his career in accelerator physics solving problems. From ...

Innovative machine learning techniques are rapidly transforming particle accelerator physics by integrating advanced data analytics with established accelerator models. This integration has led to ...

Advanced photonics and techniques from the microchip industry are enabling physicists to develop light-based particle accelerators as small as a grain of rice, describes Joel England Light work ...
