With every new particle accelerator built for research, scientists have an opportunity to push the limits of discovery. But this is only true if new particle accelerators deliver the desired ...

This sample of niobium has been treated in a process that is typical for preparing particle accelerator components. Tests have revealed how adding oxygen to such components makes them more efficient.

A pocket-size gizmo that puts the "pop" in microwave popcorn could soon fuel particle accelerators of the future. The small but mighty device is a magnetron—a mashup of the words "magnetic" and ...

Plans for a 91-kilometre European particle accelerator are facing a serious challenge after the German government said that the project was unaffordable. CERN, the European particle-physics laboratory ...
