Machine learning, a form of artificial intelligence, vastly speeds up computational tasks and enables new technology in areas as broad as speech and image recognition, self-driving cars, stock market ...

Particle and nuclear physics evokes evokes images of huge accelerators probing the extremes of matter. But in this round-up ...

Europe's physics lab CERN on Thursday said private donors had pledged $1 billion toward the construction of a new particle accelerator that would be by far the world's biggest.

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 ...

Accelerator scientists are in demand at labs and beyond. While the supply of accelerator physicists in the United States has grown modestly over the last decade, it hasn’t been able to catch up with ...

Particle accelerators have plenty to teach us about the mysterious forces and matter that makes up the universe, but these facilities aren't exactly portable, involving kilometers of tunnels and ...

IOTA, the new test accelerator, gives researchers rich and varied opportunities to dive deep into the physics of particle beams. On August 21, a beam of electrons successfully circulated for the first ...

Nuclear physics students at Norte Dame will soon get the chance to use a machine that will search for environmental toxins. It’s called an accelerator and it will be the third one to be installed on ...

Any accident in the history of science should serve as a reminder that safety should always remain the most important principle for people who work in the field. Even though some knowledge was ...

Accelerator experts have used a laser to manipulate electron bunches at PTB's Metrology Light Source so that they emitted intense light pulses having a laser-like character. Using this method, ...
