For over two decades, scientists at CERN observed unexplained particle losses in their Super Proton Synchrotron. A new study ...

A gigantic "blazar" may have fired a beam of light-speed particles at our planet, creating a 2023 "ghost particle" detection.

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 ...

The most energetic "ghost particle" neutrino ever detected may have been blasted at Earth by blazars, black hole engines that ...

Deep beneath the border of France and Switzerland is the most massive, most ambitious experiment ever undertaken by humanity. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator that uses a ...

Particle accelerators are crucial tools in a wide variety of areas in industry, research and the medical sector. The space these machines require ranges from a few square meters to large research ...

The Klystron Gallery at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California stretches an astonishing 1.9 miles and could be ...

Some of the most fundamental questions about our universe are also the most difficult to answer. Questions like what gives matter its mass, what is the invisible 96 percent of the universe made of, ...

In 2010, when scientists were preparing to smash the first particles together within the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), sections of the media fantasised that the EU-wide experiment might create a black ...

Scientists have invented a new type of accelerator structure that could make accelerators used for a given application 10 times shorter. Particle accelerators generate high-energy beams of electrons, ...
