A new design is looking to scale down particle accelerators in a major way. Using laser light and an 'accelerator on a chip' design, the search for parallel universes and the 'God particle' could soon ...

The CERN has recently submitted a preliminary report (FCC) proposing the design of a future particle accelerator with a 100 km circumference. If realized, this ...

Physicists have now demonstrated a particle accelerator so small it fits inside a single molecule, shrinking one of science’s most imposing machines to the scale of chemistry. Instead of ...

Serge Mathot, in charge of the construction of the 'mini-RFQ', pictured with the first of the four modules that will make up the miniature accelerator Maximilien Brice/CERN Cern is developing a "mini ...

Scientists have activated the smallest particle accelerator ever built—a tiny device roughly the size of a coin. This advancement opens new doors for particle acceleration, promising exciting ...

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 ...
