The merging of cutting-edge accelerator technology with state-of-the-art cancer therapy could result in a method to tackle tumors resistant to current cancer treatments. CERN, operators of the Large ...

Scientists turned the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) back on after a three-year shutdown. The Large Hadron Collider is the world’s largest particle accelerator. Physicists and people interested in ...

If you were asked to imagine a particle accelerator, you would probably picture a high-energy electron beam contained within a kilometers-long facility, manned by hundreds of engineers and researchers ...

Particle accelerators could be incredibly useful for medicine – if they weren’t so huge. The SLAC accelerator, for example, is almost 2 mi (3.2 km) long, while CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) runs ...

In scientific pursuits, like the search for dark matter, researchers sometimes use high-power particle accelerators. But these giant machines are extremely expensive and only a handful of them exist, ...

In 2010, when scientists were preparing to smash the first particles together within the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), sections of the media fantasised that the EU-wide experiment might create a black ...

Exciting news from the world of science. In a study published in the journal Nature Physics, scientists at CERN in ...

Scientists have invented a new type of accelerator structure that could make accelerators used for a given application 10 times shorter. Particle accelerators generate high-energy beams of electrons, ...
