China's ambitious new particle accelerator was meant to pick up where the Large Hadron Collider left off, but the project was ...

Particle accelerators are usually huge structures—think of the 3.2-km-long SLAC National Accelerator Lab in Stanford, California. But scientists have been hard at work trying to shrink these ...

A computer-generated image based on a generative diffusion process shows 2D projections of a particle accelerator beam. Starting from pure noise, signals from the accelerator adaptively guide the ...

China’s decision to halt work on what was meant to be the world’s largest particle accelerator marked a sharp turn in the ...

A proposed funding program for small- and medium-scale projects reveals insights into the science, logistical challenges, and future of particle physics research. Particle physicists have a reputation ...

When trying to answer questions as deep as “what makes up the universe,” advance planning is key. On June 11, the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine announced the result of a ...

Once a surprise to physicists, these particles are useful tools inside and outside the realm of particle physics.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists at MIT discovered a method to create a kind of particle accelerator using a molecule of radium monofluoride. Once excited by lasers in a ...
