An unfortunate and little reported side effect of last year’s Japanese earthquake and tsunami is that thousands of acres of farmland were contaminated with seawater. Rice is a staple crop in Japan, ...

Researchers have long thought pure niobium superconducting radiofrequency cavities were best for particle accelerators. Researchers are now using a toolkit to learn how to add impurities to the ...

Researchers have successfully activated the world's smallest particle accelerator, called a nanophotonic electron accelerator (NEA). It uses miniature laser beams to accelerate electrons, marking a ...

The world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator smashed protons together on Friday, bringing scientists closer to understanding the Big Bang. CERN researchers put three beams of protons ...

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 ...

This article was originally published on ETFTrends.com. Semiconductors manufacturing has become even more imperative, particularly with the growing adoption of artificial intelligence. As demand for ...

Ever since the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, physicists have wanted to build new particle colliders to better understand the properties of that elusive particle and probe elementary particle ...
