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 16-part course, currently in its pilot phase, is catered to high school students but available to anyone interested in learning about the fundamental questions in particle physics. Jeff Wiener ...

Particle accelerators are machines that, put simply, accelerate basic particles like electrons and protons to extremely high levels of energy. The beams of charged particles created by these machines ...

At the start of the 20th century scientists had little knowledge of the building blocks that form our physical world. By the end of the century they had discovered not just all the elements that are ...

Physicists and engineers are familiar with costly high-energy electron-particle accelerators, and their mile-long structures needed to achieve mega-electron-volt (MeV) energy levels. But there’s a new ...
