New nanotube design could make particle accelerators thinner than a hair
When grown vertically into aligned arrays, known as nanotube “forests,” they form ideal channels for the corkscrewing laser ...
A particle accelerator that produces intense X-rays could be squeezed into a device that fits on a table, my colleagues and I ...
Deep beneath the border of France and Switzerland is the most massive, most ambitious experiment ever undertaken by humanity. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator that uses a ...
In 2010, when scientists were preparing to smash the first particles together within the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), sections of the media fantasised that the EU-wide experiment might create a black ...
