The Palimpsest, a writing of Archimedes once thought lost to history, has been revealed through the advanced use of a particle accelerator.

A particle accelerator was used to create lightning in a bottle by charging a spinning acrylic tube with high-energy ...

Norbert Holtkamp has been appointed as the new director of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, effective Jan. 12, 2026.

You’ve probably seen Lichtenberg figures before, those lightning-like traces left by high-voltage discharge. The safe way to create them is using an electron beam to embed charge inside an ...

The Saint Louis University New Venture Accelerator (NVA) allows SLU founders to launch their entrepreneurial journeys with access to funding, resources, advisors and guidance to propel their ideas to ...

Worse, the most recent CERN implementation of the FPGA-Based Level-1 Trigger planned for the 2026-2036 decade is a 650 kW system containing an incredibly high number of transistor, 20 trillion in all, ...

Figure 4: A proton accelerator based on target normal sheath acceleration. The laser pulse is travelling from left to right. The 'critical' density, nc, is the point at which plasma becomes reflective ...

CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron will turn 50 in 2026—and it has a resonant “ghost.” Using mathematics, physicists measured and modeled how these resonant lines intersect. Modeling a 3D shape over time ...

Plasma-based accelerators use plasmas to increase the kinetic energy of charged particles such as electrons, protons, and ions. Plasma-based accelerators usually use laser-produced plasmas in which ...
