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 ...

Linear accelerators (linacs) are pivotal instruments that utilise high-power radio frequency (RF) fields to accelerate charged particles for applications ranging from fundamental physics research to ...

Particle accelerators work on the same basic principles. They accelerate particles to very high speeds and then smash them together (I’ll note that there are particle accelerates that function at much ...

Linear accelerators have become an indispensable component in the advancement of particle therapy, offering precise control over the delivery of ionising radiation for cancer treatment. The field ...

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 ...

PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA—Last month, the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC stands for Stanford Linear Accelerator Center) reached its golden anniversary. After 50 years of operation the ...

Canadian scientists are developing a new technology that integrates two existing medical devices -- medical linear accelerators, or "linacs," which produce powerful X-rays for treating cancer, and ...
