Particle accelerator technology has crested a new wave. For the first time, scientists have shown that electrons can gain energy by surfing waves kicked up by protons shot through plasma. In the ...

For the first time, by studying quantum correlations between triplets of secondary particles created during high-energy collisions in the LHC accelerator, it has been possible to observe their ...

The future of particle acceleration has begun. Awake is a promising concept for a completely new method with which particles can be accelerated even over short distances. The basis for this is a ...

Think of a soft-boiled egg. To cook it to a perfect, golden, and appetizing state with a runny yolk, the boiling time is crucial. If you look away for just a moment, it quickly turns into a hard, ...

Particle accelerators have become crucial tools for understanding the fundamental nature of our universe, but they are incredibly big and expensive. That could change, though, after scientists ...
