Mini particle accelerator breakthrough could transform lab research Scientists in Japan have demonstrated free-electron laser amplification at extreme ultraviolet wavelengths using laser wakefield ...

A new imaging technique using a particle accelerator is giving researchers an unprecedented level of detail of our organs, producing scans 100 billion times brighter than a CT scanner. Those 3D models ...

Particle accelerators are experimental techniques and associated infrastructures that use electromagnetic fields to accelerate charged particles, such as electrons, protons, or heavy ions, to high ...

"This is the first time we have observed, for a large interval in momentum and for multiple species, this flow pattern in a subset of proton collisions in which an unusually large number of particles ...

A weird force that skirts traditional physics norms has helped erase a smudge on the foundations of particle physics. It’s a phenomenon called the “neutrino force,” by which neutrinos could ...

Boron neutron capture therapy is being used in Japan to target and treat head and neck tumours. Many other countries are now building facilities. In 2020, Japan became the first country to approve ...
