Physicists operating the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are once again circulating beams of high-energy protons along the 27-kilometer-long circular particle accelerator. The LHC was shut down in 2018 ...

Since its inception in 2008, the LHC (large hadron collider) at CERN has been a key player in pushing the boundaries of particle physics research. Consisting of four main experiments, the circular ...

Civil engineer and nuclear technician Albert Swank Jr. wants to build a circular particle accelerator, or cyclotron, in his garage in Anchorage,... Neighborhood Up in Arms over Home Cyclotron Civil ...

In October, the Circular Electron–Positron Collider (CEPC) study group completed its full suite of technical design reports, ...

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 ...

A new phase of operations at the Large Hadron Collider — the world’s largest particle accelerator — is scheduled to start in a few weeks, just a day after the 10th anniversary of its greatest ...

Physicist John Peoples Jr. was the third-ever director of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory near Batavia, and in his 10 years in charge oversaw efforts to boost the power of the Tevatron, a ...

Particle accelerators are powerful devices that use electromagnetic fields to propel charged particles like electrons or protons at speeds close to the speed of light, then smash them head-on. What ...

Civil engineer and nuclear technician Albert Swank wants to build a circular particle accelerator, or cyclotron, in his garage in a well-manicured residential area adjacent to downtown Anchorage, ...
