Particle accelerators are often framed as exotic machines built only to chase obscure particles, but they are really precision tools that use electric fields and magnets to steer tiny beams of matter ...

Particle accelerators smash tiny particles together to reveal the universe's building blocks. These machines have grown dramatically in size and power over time, leading to major discoveries. The ...

As the name suggests, particle accelerators involve accelerating subatomic particles to incredibly high speeds and smashing them into tiny targets. Particle accelerators, also known as particle ...

You have heard about Fermilab, accelerators, quarks and the Big Bang. But how do all those things fit together? If you only knew a scientist whom you could ask... More than a year ago, physicist Peter ...

Jefferson Lab accelerator physicists to partner with national lab, university and industry colleagues for development of compact SRF accelerators for industrial settings NEWPORT NEWS, VA – ...

A U.S. research lab has announced one of the most precise measurements ever of how a subatomic particle behaves, teeing up a showdown that could either vindicate one of science's most powerful ...

Forty high school students with Chicago Public Schools graduated from Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory’s Saturday Morning Quantum* program on May 31. The inaugural 10-week program was held at the ...

Every time two beams of particles collide inside an accelerator, the universe lets us in on a little secret. Sometimes it's a particle no one has ever seen. Other times, it's a fleeting glimpse of ...
