Particle accelerators, also known as particle colliders or atom smashers, have been responsible for some of the most exciting physics findings over the past century, including the discovery of the ...

Physicists have now demonstrated a particle accelerator so small it fits inside a single molecule, shrinking one of science’s most imposing machines to the scale of chemistry. Instead of ...

The proton packs were invented by two of the Ghostbusters, and not only look cool, but have a realistic scientific basis. The proton pack works as an unlicensed nuclear accelerator using carbon 14 and ...

Machines like cyclotrons and synchrotrons help scientists recreate the conditions of the Big Bang and probe the very edges of particle physics. They also tend to be very big. Now, a new study details ...

The device is small enough to fit on a coin. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Scientists recently fired up the world's smallest ...

Advanced photonics and techniques from the microchip industry are enabling physicists to develop light-based particle accelerators as small as a grain of rice, describes Joel England Light work ...
