A beam of electrons crossed just a few millimeters of plasma, then helped trigger an effect that usually belongs to massive ...

Deep inside every atom lies a restless world of quarks and gluons—the tiny building ...

Using high-intensity lasers, researchers have taken an important step toward miniaturization of particle accelerators by ...

Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The ...

Scientists are unlocking new secrets of the universe with tiny particles called plasmons. These plasmons allow researchers to confine powerful electromagnetic energy within spaces smaller than a grain ...

Nuclear energy isn't exactly clean, with nuclear waste never exactly going away. But this inventive new process might help ...

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 ...
