A slender glass fiber no thicker than a human hair placed across a particle beam could improve accelerator monitoring. A team ...

Physicists often use machine learning to automate the task of tuning particle accelerators in real time to get the best performance. Jan Kaiser at the German Electron Synchrotron (DESY) in Hamburg and ...

When it comes to making groundbreaking discoveries in particle physics, scientists rely on large particle accelerators to conduct advanced experiments. These powerful machines use long tracks and ...

If dark matter is made from "dark" versions of the basic building blocks of ordinary matter, the world's largest particle accelerator should be able to pin it down. When you purchase through links on ...

A micrometre-sized device that produces light by firing a beam of electrons over a slab of crystal could be used to build tiny particle accelerators and X-ray machines. Such chip-sized devices could ...

A particle accelerator just 0.2 millimetres long is the smallest device of its kind ever built. It is the first tiny accelerator that can produce fast and well-focused bunches of electrons, and could ...
