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 ...

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 ...

The device is small enough to fit on a coin. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Scientists recently fired up the world's smallest ...

High energy physics and oncology are converging in an unexpected place: the “waste” streams of particle accelerators and nuclear facilities. Instead of treating leftover radiation and spent materials ...

Deep beneath the Swiss countryside, inside a ring of machinery nearly four miles across that has been running since the 1970s, physicists have been chasing something they could not see, could not ...

AI is an integral part of many science areas around SLAC, including handling data from the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST)/Rubin Observatory, understanding the behavior of biological materials, ...
