The Large Hadron Collider is going to be shut down — not permanently, but for a pretty long time — and the famous atom ...

Particle and nuclear physics evokes evokes images of huge accelerators probing the extremes of matter. But in this round-up of my favourite research of 2025 I have chosen five stories in which ...

Texas A&M University professor Peter McIntyre and his colleagues want to build a particle accelerator around the rim of the Gulf of Mexico in order to discover the most fundamental building blocks of ...

Particle accelerators are crucial tools in a wide variety of areas in industry, research and the medical sector. The space these machines require ranges from a few square meters to large research ...

New experimental results show particles called muons can be corralled into beams suitable for high-energy collisions, paving the way for new physics. Particle accelerators are best known for colliding ...

Whenever SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory's linear accelerator is on, packs of around a billion electrons each travel together at nearly the speed of light through metal piping. These electron ...

Scientists in the particle physics community are bringing environmental and climate issues to the table in discussions about future research. Using a particle collider requires a lot of energy. For ...

Once a surprise to physicists, these particles are useful tools inside and outside the realm of particle physics.
