Particle accelerators, also known as particle colliders or atom smashers, have been responsible for some of the most exciting physics findings over the past century, including the discovery of the ...

Using powerful X-rays, researchers at SLAC are trying to recover erased traces of a 2,000-year-old star catalog that could ...

To unlock the secrets of dark matter, scientists could turn to supermassive black holes and their ability to act as natural superpowered particle colliders. That's according to new research that found ...

Using 16 years of data from NASA's gamma-ray detecting Fermi spacecraft, astronomers have discovered that "microquasars," systems in which a black hole is slowly devouring a star, may be small, but ...

Scientists have activated the smallest particle accelerator ever built—a tiny device roughly the size of a coin. This advancement opens new doors for particle acceleration, promising exciting ...

Particle accelerators are usually huge structures—think of the 3.2-km-long SLAC National Accelerator Lab in Stanford, California. But scientists have been hard at work trying to shrink these ...
