Machines like cyclotrons and synchrotrons help scientists recreate the conditions of the Big Bang and probe the very edges of particle physics. They also tend to be very big. Now, a new study details ...

Physicists have now demonstrated a particle accelerator so small it fits inside a single molecule, shrinking one of science’s most imposing machines to the scale of chemistry. Instead of ...

The proton packs were invented by two of the Ghostbusters, and not only look cool, but have a realistic scientific basis. The proton pack works as an unlicensed nuclear accelerator using carbon 14 and ...

China’s decision to halt work on what was meant to be the world’s largest particle accelerator marked a sharp turn in the ...

China's ambitious new particle accelerator was meant to pick up where the Large Hadron Collider left off, but the project was ...
