Scientists have successfully developed a pocket-sized particle accelerator capable of projecting ultra-short electron beams with laser light at more than 99.99% of the speed of light. To achieve this ...

There are many applications for particle accelerators, even outside research facilities, but for the longest time they have been large, cumbersome machines, not to mention very expensive to operate.

The USA has only two accelerators that can produce 10 billion electron-volt particle beams, and they're each about 1.9 miles (3 km) long. "We can now reach those energies in 10 cm (4 inches)," said ...

Physicists have built a tractor beam out of lasers that can both repel and attract objects across distances 100 times farther than previously possible. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she ...

Fusion startups are racing to prove that they can bottle the power of the stars without the sprawling magnets or precision ...

For nearly a century, new frontiers in accelerator-based science have been enabled by advances in the field of accelerator science and technology. A team of researchers at Fermilab has been working in ...

A new kind of laser uses tiny moving particles to produce beams of light. The laser is more programmable than standard lasers and the approach could be used to create visual displays that are sharp ...

What is Particle Size Analysis? Particle size analysis is a technique for determining the particle size distribution in a material. Solid materials, emulsions, suspensions, and even aerosols may all ...
