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 ...

Jefferson Lab accelerator physicists to partner with national lab, university and industry colleagues for development of compact SRF accelerators for industrial settings NEWPORT NEWS, VA – ...

The USA has only two accelerators that can produce 10 billion electron-volt particle beams, and they're each about 1.9 miles (3 km) long. "We can now reach those energies in 10 cm (4 inches)," said ...

A microchip with the electron-accelerating structures with, in comparison, a one cent coin. If you think of a particle accelerator, what may come to mind is something like CERN’s Large Hadron Collider ...

Particle accelerators smash tiny particles together to reveal the universe's building blocks. These machines have grown dramatically in size and power over time, leading to major discoveries. The ...
