Machines like cyclotrons and synchrotrons help scientists recreate the conditions of the Big Bang and probe the very edges of particle physics. They also tend to be very big. Now, a new study details ...

New research suggests that particle accelerators capable of generating intense, coherent X-rays, which are typically produced only at vast, stadium-sized facilities, may one day fit on a table. The ...

Producing the subatomic particles called muons is now a lighter lift than ever before. Several teams of researchers have generated muons using small particle accelerators driven by lasers. Typically, ...

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 ...
