Proton beams with giga-electron-volt (GeV) energies—once thought to be achievable only with massive particle accelerators—may soon be generated in compact setups thanks to a breakthrough by ...

A particle accelerator on display in a museum exhibition is rare. But a functioning particle accelerator conducting real scientific research in a museum exhibition? That's unprecedented. After years ...

Here's what you'll learn when you read this story: CERN's Super Proton Synchrotron will turn 50 in 2026—and it has a resonant "ghost." Using mathematics, physicists measured and modeled how these ...

There is technology being perfected to make particle accelerators 100-1000 times lower cost. This would enable production of nuclear material for space propulsion that could reach up to 0.5% of light ...

Conceptual illustration of micronozzle acceleration (MNA). A solid hydrogen rod is embedded in an aluminum micronozzle, which channels and focuses plasma flow to optimize proton acceleration. Osaka, ...

CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron will turn 50 in 2026—and it has a resonant “ghost.” Using mathematics, physicists measured and modeled how these resonant lines intersect. Modeling a 3D shape over time ...
