Expectations were running high. For months, the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC), an innovative particle accelerator nearing completion at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Facility (SLAC) in Palo Alto, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Particle accelerators are often framed as exotic machines built only to chase obscure particles, but they are really precision tools that use electric fields and magnets to steer tiny beams of matter ...

Physicist Tor Raubenheimer explores the world by climbing rocks and designing particle accelerators. What do particle accelerators and craggy outcrops have in common? Both have Tor Raubenheimer ...

Marco Carlone, founder of Linax Technologies, talks to Tami Freeman about his motivation for creating an online learning tool that teaches medical physicists how to use and understand linear ...

In their efforts to probe more deeply into the mysterious subatomic world and its host of recently discovered particles, scientists are rapidly refining and adding to the spectacular tools of ...

Particle accelerators are the engines of particle physics research at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. They generate nearly light-speed, subatomic particles that scientists study to get to the ...
