Every time two beams of particles collide inside an accelerator, the universe lets us in on a little secret. Sometimes it's a particle no one has ever seen. Other times, it's a fleeting glimpse of ...

Particle accelerators, also known as particle colliders or atom smashers, have been responsible for some of the most exciting physics findings over the past century, including the discovery of the ...

Spinning supermassive black holes often shoot out jets of plasma from their poles. When the magnetic fields in these jets get twisted and tangled, they generate an electric field capable of ...

Engineers from the UK-based Cockcroft Institute claim to have made discoveries that could improve the design of next generation particle accelerators. Working closely with colleagues from around the ...
