UC Santa Cruz Professor of Applied Mathematics Dongwook Lee has won a three-year, $1.1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, which will fund his research on improving computer models for ...

An invisible force has long eluded detection within the halls of the world’s most famous particle accelerator—until now.

Alex Bogacz, a senior scientist at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility since 1997, has spent his career in accelerator physics solving problems. From ...

Five hundred thousand times per second, the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will record a collision.

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 ...

Nuclear waste sits in temporary storage for 100,000 years, but Jefferson Lab’s particle accelerators slash that to just 300 years while generating electricity. This isn’t theoretical physics-it’s a $8 ...

Particle accelerators are often framed as exotic machines built only to chase obscure particles, but they are really precision tools that use electric fields and magnets to steer tiny beams of matter ...

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. CERN, ...
