For over two decades, scientists at CERN observed unexplained particle losses in their Super Proton Synchrotron. A new study ...

Our most powerful particle accelerators mimic near-light speeds of cosmic particles. But no upgrade may be capable of ...

A gigantic "blazar" may have fired a beam of light-speed particles at our planet, creating a 2023 "ghost particle" detection.

The most energetic "ghost particle" neutrino ever detected may have been blasted at Earth by blazars, black hole engines that ...

NASA’s Juno Mission has captured electrons traveling near the speed of light in Jupiter’s magnetic environment, providing ...

Deep beneath the border of France and Switzerland is the most massive, most ambitious experiment ever undertaken by humanity. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator that uses a ...

Every time two beams of particles collide inside an accelerator, the universe lets us in on a little secret. Sometimes it's a particle no one has ever seen. Other times, it's a fleeting glimpse of ...

The Klystron Gallery at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California stretches an astonishing 1.9 miles and could be ...

Some of the most fundamental questions about our universe are also the most difficult to answer. Questions like what gives matter its mass, what is the invisible 96 percent of the universe made of, ...

A computer-generated image based on a generative diffusion process shows 2D projections of a particle accelerator beam. Starting from pure noise, signals from the accelerator adaptively guide the ...

Mark Thomson, the new head of Europe's physics laboratory CERN, voiced confidence Tuesday about raising the billions of dollars needed to build by far the world's biggest particle accelerator.
