Using high-intensity lasers, researchers have taken an important step toward miniaturization of particle accelerators by ...

A string of recent experiments has moved desktop-scale particle accelerators from theoretical curiosity to working prototypes ...

Nuclear energy isn't exactly clean, with nuclear waste never exactly going away. But this inventive new process might help ...

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 ...

There is a limit to how big we can build particle colliders on Earth, whether that is because of limited space or limited economics. Since size is equivalent to energy output for particle colliders, ...

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 ...

Built in 1945, Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer, or ENIAC, was the world’s first digital, programmable computer—it also weighed 30 tons and was the size of a small room. Today, computers ...

The world's largest particle smasher is due an upgrade, but is there anything left to discover?

The age of room-sized (and larger) colliders may be coming to an end now that researchers from Stanford have developed a nano-scale particle accelerator that fits on a single silicon chip. Share on ...

Presented by the Laura and Alvin Siegal Lifelong Learning Program, the Origins Science Scholars Program series engages community members with one another and with leading scholars to investigate ...
