A microchip with the electron-accelerating structures with, in comparison, a one cent coin. If you think of a particle accelerator, what may come to mind is something like CERN’s Large Hadron Collider ...

Event display of the excess of top-quark pairs. Credit: CMS collaboration/CERN The CMS collaboration at CERN has observed an unexpected feature in data produced by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), ...

There is concern that ultrafine particles (UFPs; particles with a diameter of less than 0.1 µm) can cause more health problems than larger particles. UFPs represent the smallest size fraction of ...

Researchers found for the first time evidence that even microquasars containing a low-mass star are efficient particle accelerators, which leads to a significant impact on the interpretation of the ...

It may be the smallest, shortest chorus dance ever recorded. An international team of researchers observed how electrons, excited by ultrafast light pulses, danced in unison around a particle less ...

Scientists recently fired up the world's smallest particle accelerator for the first time. The tiny technological triumph, which is around the size of a small coin, could open the door to a wide range ...
