Some were disappointed at the lack of "new physics" from the LHC. Could forthcoming updates be the accelerator's redemption ...

In general, the biggest opportunity to make accelerators more sustainable is when they are still being designed and conceived ...

A particle accelerator that produces intense X-rays could be squeezed into a device that fits on a table, my colleagues and I have found in a new research project. The way that intense X-rays are ...
