While it may not sound like a major leap, this approach offers one big advantage: killing cancerous cells while doing less damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

Scientists have come a step closer to understanding how collisionless shock waves -- found throughout the universe -- are able to accelerate particles to extreme speeds.

LHC is currently the largest and most powerful particle accelerator in the world and this upgrade project will increase its ability to produce more data by making its beams more intense.

Engineers escorted a 209,000-pound cooler into its new home at Fermilab in Batavia, as part of a new particle accelerator project aiming to better understand the building blocks of the universe.

Physicists often use machine learning to automate the task of tuning particle accelerators in real time to get the best performance. Jan Kaiser at the German Electron Synchrotron (DESY ...
