Getting an up-close view of life at the cellular level can be as simple as placing onion skin under a microscope and adjusting the knobs. Peering deeper, into the heart of the atoms within, isn't as ...

For many students in India, CERN feels like a distant dream, tied only to the Large Hadron Collider and the Higgs boson discovery. In reality, while physics drives CERN’s mission, the lab is one ...

Ion beam method tests nuclear reactor materials 1,000 times faster, cutting costs and speeding advanced reactor design.

When you toss a coin, you put it into a higher-energy state until it falls back down again. It can then end up in one of two ...

The hybrid technology developed at Fraunhofer FEP uses a low-energy electron beam source that is coupled to a bioreactor, allowing biological processes to be positively influenced in real time by ...

Many activities are currently progressing across the accelerator chain as the complex moves steadily towards full operation. In the injectors, beam ...

CU Boulder researchers have designed microscopic “racetracks” that trap and amplify light with exceptional efficiency. By using smooth curves inspired by highway engineering, they reduced energy loss ...

X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs) are particle accelerators that create pulses of light of extremely short duration, similar to that of some lasers used in eye surgery. Combined with the X-ray energy ...
