Legendary Intel CTO and CEO Pat Gelsinger is now serving as executive chairman at xLight, a startup that develops a free electron laser (FEL) technology as a light source for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) ...

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 ...

Researchers have long thought pure niobium superconducting radiofrequency cavities were best for particle accelerators. Researchers are now using a toolkit to learn how to add impurities to the ...

Ever since the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, physicists have wanted to build new particle colliders to better understand the properties of that elusive particle and probe elementary particle ...

Nuclear fusion is a dream of many green energy enthusiasts. Rather than split heavy nuclei apart to release energy, future fission reactors would capture the energy released when lightweight nuclei ...

Physicists are sketching the designs of a particle accelerator that would be radically smaller and cheaper than existing facilities. The technique behind these designs, known as wakefield acceleration ...
