Researchers from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of California, Los ...

A mystery lies at the heart of the second book in the “Big Joe Carson” trilogy from longtime Chico resident David Dirks, now Brentwood-based. In the first, “Particle Beam (For Such A Time),” by Dirks ...

Particle and nuclear physics evokes evokes images of huge accelerators probing the extremes of matter. But in this round-up ...

With dual lasers, researchers have accelerated a high-quality beam of electrons to 10 billion electronvolts in just 30 centimeters. The experiment gives scientists a 'frame-by-frame' look at how a ...

Using lasers as tweezers to understand cloud electrification might sound like science fiction, but at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) it is a reality. By trapping and charging ...

Who doesn't love a humongous laser? Here at ExtremeTech, we're fans of both 1) technology and 2) extremes, and lasers are toward the far end of both spectra. So, do you have a minute? In the spirit of ...
