In the case of the most recalcitrant by-product of the nuclear industry, physics has never been the bottleneck. It has been ...

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." The SPS is a ring that’s nearly four miles across, dating back to the 1970s. That sounds like ancient ...

Advanced photonics and techniques from the microchip industry are enabling physicists to develop light-based particle accelerators as small as a grain of rice, describes Joel England Light work ...

Experts at the BELLA Center used dual laser beams focused onto a sheet of gas to reach a milestone energy in laser-driven electron acceleration. Four members of the larger team gathered with the ...

CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron will turn 50 in 2026—and it has a resonant “ghost.” Using mathematics, physicists measured and modeled how these resonant lines intersect. Modeling a 3D shape over time ...
