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 ...

SpaceX is no longer content to just launch hardware into orbit; it now wants to recreate key parts of the space environment in its own lab. By building a proton particle accelerator, the company is ...

A new heat exchange system between the LHC and the French town of Ferney-Voltaire is directing waste heat energy from CERN's accelerator to warm thousands of homes and businesses.

When students on campus think of a particle accelerator, a machine that launches atomic particles at incredibly high speeds into one another, they might think of Barry Allen’s origin story in The CW ...

Synchrotron radiation has revealed a star map made by the ancient astronomer Hipparchus that was thought to be lost to time ...

With FAIR, one of the world's largest facilities for fundamental research in physics is being built in Darmstadt. A major ...

Particle accelerators could be incredibly useful for medicine – if they weren’t so huge. The SLAC accelerator, for example, is almost 2 mi (3.2 km) long, while CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) runs ...

Large fire at a leading research facility in Darmstadt forced officials to indefinitely postpone test phase of new particle ...

A short circuit sparked a massive fire on Thursday at a leading physics laboratory in the western German city of Darmstadt, ...

Scientists at Stanford have made a working prototype particle accelerator smaller than a human hair. Shrinking particle accelerators is a high-priority goal because of the potential in applications ...

With the help of special telescopes, researchers have observed a cosmic particle accelerator as never before. Observations made with the gamma ray observatory H.E.S.S. in Namibia show for the first ...
