In a breakthrough that would make medieval alchemists envious, scientists at Europe's Large Hadron Collider have successfully ...

When you think of a particle accelerator, you usually think of some giant cyclotron with heavy-duty equipment in a massive mad-science lab. But scientists now believe they can create particle ...

I’ve posted before about Charles Brooks’ fantastic series of photographs of the insides of musical instruments. Recent ...

The mind-bending experiments taking place in particle accelerators around the world, including the Large Hadron Collider. Quarks, munons, bosons, and dark matter galore. By Andrew Paul By Andrew ...

People have been hyperventilating about this very, very big particle accelerator, which is run by the European Council for Nuclear Research (CERN), since Bill Clinton was president. Back when the ...

I’m standing in front of the country’s most high-powered particle accelerator, capable of harnessing 21 million volts to fire a beam of particles at 20 per cent the speed of light. To ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a giant particle accelerator that smashes atoms together at super-high speeds. Scientists there have found a way to knock three tiny particles called protons out ...

So-called "nuclear accelerators" are used to split the atom for scientific research, but most particle accelerators are built for more practical applications. They are used to manufacture myriad ...
