Particle Accelerator

Scientists are on the brink of a groundbreaking discovery that could expand the periodic table to include element 120. Currently, the periodic table comprises 118 elements, ranging from hydrogen with one proton to oganesson with 118. The quest to explore the frontiers of atomic physics has led researchers to develop a novel technique to create elem...

In the remaining months of scientific activity, the satellites will pass through the region where charged particles are accelerated, leading to the creation of Earth's auroras.

The particle believed to have originated deep in the space and is making waves because it is extremely rare for a high-energy particle to fall on Earth.

The European Space Agency (ESA) has observed an unusual particle acceleration in the Manatee Nebula. The space agency says it has finally managed to pinpoint the location of the acceleration in the 'head' of the nebula. The image was captured using the ESA's X-ray space observatory, XMM-Newton. A region of X-rays that is causing particle accelerati...

In their pioneer research, the team discovered a fresh technique to experiment with the Unruh effect. They discovered that by shining a high-intensity laser on an accelerating particle, the Unruh effect may be amplified to the point where it can be measured.

A recent experiment showed that a fundamental particle - the W boson - weighed more than expected. The mass difference is an important facet for scientists to explain how the universe and its different forces work. The experiment was conducted at the US government's Fermi National Accelerator Lab.

Fermi National Particle Accelerator Laboratory, a US government lab, claim to have developed a magnet that demonstrates the fastest ramping rates by any magnet in the world.

Brazilian scientists are racing against time to finish building a particle accelerator the size of the Maracana football stadium before government funds run out or it is superseded by rival technology.

If you've ever entertained those questions, you've engaged with some of the most pressing mysteries of physics. And you might want to turn to Instagram - yes, Instagram - for more information. It turns out that the social media network is packed with great science photos, and the granddaddy of all labs, CERN, also runs a behemoth of an Insta feed.

The FCC, or Future Circular Collider, was proposed by more than 150 universities and science institutes.

A proposed 100-km particle accelerator under Geneva has joined an international quest to develop the successor to the Large Hadron Collider to help unlock humankind's knowledge of matter.

India is playing a larger role than ever at CERN as the country can now propose experiments and also vote on its important decisions, says an eminent Indian-origin scientist at the organisation which runs the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator.

A new particle accelerator unveiled at CERN is expected to spawn portable accelerators that could help doctors treat cancer patients and experts analyse artwork.

The Large Hadron Collider - the world's biggest, most powerful particle accelerator - is going to be out of commission for a few days. Scientists are blaming a weasel.

Scientists have used a particle accelerator to obtain high-speed 3D X-ray visualisations of the flight muscles of flies.
