The phrase “lightning in a bottle” is usually used as a metaphor for something rare or impossible to reproduce. In a recent ...

Linear accelerators have become an indispensable component in the advancement of particle therapy, offering precise control over the delivery of ionising radiation for cancer treatment. The field ...

What’s the difference between a synchrotron and a cyclotron, anyway? Research in high-energy physics takes many forms. But most experiments in the field rely on accelerators that create and speed up ...

The first of its kind superconducting linear particle accelerator (LINAC) built for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory is now celebrating ...

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 ...

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 ...

After an almost two-year shutdown for repairs and upgrades, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is beginning to fire back up for its next phase of probing the mysteries of physics. Its newest particle ...
