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

Menlo Park, Calif. -- Magnetic field lines tangled like spaghetti in a bowl might be behind the most powerful particle accelerators in the universe. That's the result of a new computational study by ...

The role magnets play in physics research is a critical one, helping guide the trajectory of particle beams that allow for high-speed collisions and groundbreaking discoveries. But not all magnets are ...

In 1820, Hans Christian Oersted gave a demonstration on electricity to a class of advanced students at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. Using an early battery prototype, he looked to see what ...

Scientists at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California have found a new way to explain how charged particles are ejected in the form of jets from black holes. These exciting findings could ...

Witness the thrill of magnetic accelerators in action, where powerful magnets propel objects with incredible speed and precision. Watch as these accelerators create exciting, high-energy movements ...

The U.S. LHC Accelerator Program succeeded in testing a new superconducting high-field quadrupole magnet known as HQ02a last week in an international project to which Lawrence Berkeley National ...

Scientists have announced that they achieved the highest magnetic field strength ever recorded for an accelerator steering magnet, setting a world record of 14.1 teslas, with the magnet cooled to 4.5 ...

Smaller, potentially cheaper sources of high-intensity protons could become reality thanks to a novel type of fixed-field alternating-gradient (FFAG) accelerator designed by a physicist in the UK.

Magnetic field lines tangled like spaghetti in a bowl might be behind the most powerful particle accelerators in the universe. That's the result of a new computational study that simulated particle ...
