The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the largest particle accelerator in the world. But, after 10 years of operation, it’s time to think about the next steps. With one approved upgrade—the ...

Ensuring EMC for military applications is challenging. On the one hand, maneuvers should be undertaken without the enemy’s knowledge, so radiated emissions have to be controlled to ensure secure ...

Linear accelerators (linacs) are pivotal instruments that utilise high-power radio frequency (RF) fields to accelerate charged particles for applications ranging from fundamental physics research to ...

Superconducting radio frequency cavities, like the one shown above, are commonly used in particle accelerators. It is through these cavities that particles travel, accelerated to immense speeds by ...

Particle accelerators are often framed as exotic machines built only to chase obscure particles, but they are really precision tools that use electric fields and magnets to steer tiny beams of matter ...

A high-voltage transmission electron microscope (HVTEM) small enough to fit inside a university lab has been built for the first time by researchers in Japan. The team, led by Takumi Sannomiya at ...

It takes a large instrument to investigate a small particle. Particle accelerators, used by physicists to study the elementary particles from which all matter is constructed, are usually built ...

How it could work: electrons are injected into the dielectric laser accelerator (centre) from a source at the top left. The cavities are within the turquoise and gold bars, which are illuminated with ...

Neubiberg, Germany — Infineon Technologies AG has announced a new family of RF power transistors in an open-cavity plastic package with a copper base, targeted at the high-volume cellular ...
