The U.S. Department of Energy is betting $40 million that particle accelerators can crack one of nuclear power’s oldest ...

Researchers at Santa Clara University have developed a comprehensive mathematical framework to rigorously analyze and predict ...

Machine learning, a form of artificial intelligence, vastly speeds up computational tasks and enables new technology in areas as broad as speech and image recognition, self-driving cars, stock market ...

Keeping high-power particle accelerators at peak performance requires advanced and precise control systems. For example, the primary research machine at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas ...

The USA has only two accelerators that can produce 10 billion electron-volt particle beams, and they're each about 1.9 miles (3 km) long. "We can now reach those energies in 10 cm (4 inches)," said ...

IOTA, the new test accelerator, gives researchers rich and varied opportunities to dive deep into the physics of particle beams. On August 21, a beam of electrons successfully circulated for the first ...

Nuclear physics students at Norte Dame will soon get the chance to use a machine that will search for environmental toxins. It’s called an accelerator and it will be the third one to be installed on ...

A short circuit sparked a massive fire on Thursday at a leading physics laboratory in the western German city of Darmstadt, with the facility's particle accelerator affected. The fire at the GSI ...

How it could work: electrons are injected into the dielectric laser accelerator (centre) from a source at the top left. The cavities are within the turquoise and gold bars, which are illuminated with ...

Nuclear waste becomes clean energy as Jefferson Lab's particle accelerators reduce storage time by 99.7% while generating ...
