The USA has only two accelerators that can produce 10 billion electron-volt particle beams, and they're each about 1.9 miles (3 km) long. "We can now reach those energies in 10 cm (4 inches)," said ...

Conceptual illustration of micronozzle acceleration (MNA). A solid hydrogen rod is embedded in an aluminum micronozzle, which channels and focuses plasma flow to optimize proton acceleration. Osaka, ...

TAU Systems, the producer of ultrafast, compact laser-plasma accelerators, today announced the successful upgrade of the existing University of Texas Tabletop Terawatt Laser (UT 3), to a new and ...

The collaboration utilizes The University of Texas' Tabletop Terawatt Laboratory laser system to expedite breakthroughs in disease prevention and cures, as well as semiconductor chips and more ...

In massive particle accelerators, sub-atomic particles (like electrons) are sped up to super-high speeds comparable to the speed of light towards a target surface. The collision of accelerated ...

One day, powerful particle accelerators might fit in your pocket. Two teams of physicists have built tiny structures that both accelerate electrons and keep them confined in a manageable beam, instead ...

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 ...
