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 ...

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 accelerators such as those at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva are typically highly ...

The most modern light sources for research are based on particle accelerators. These are large facilities in which electrons are accelerated to almost the speed of light, and then emit light pulses of ...

An MIT-led research team has directly mapped the three-dimensional atomic and polar structure of a relaxor ferroelectric using multi-slice electron ptychography, revealing structural features that ...

Physicists from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf and Forschungszentrum Jülich have shown for the first time that the polarization of helium-3 ions survives laser–plasma acceleration. This ...

Scientists plan to use a newly awarded grant to develop a shoebox-sized particle accelerator in five years. The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation has awarded $13.5 million to Stanford University for ...

It took every inch of the Large Hadron Collider's 17-mile length to accelerate particles to energies high enough to discover the Higgs boson. Now, imagine an accelerator that could do the same thing ...

With the new trilateral master's program “Particle Accelerator Science” the Rhine-Main Universities are pooling their expertise in accelerator science, which is unique in Europe. Starting in the ...

Stefano Buono is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Advanced Accelerator Applications SA. He is also a member of the board of directors. Prior to founding Advanced Accelerator Applications SA ...
