Plasma, the fourth state of matter, consists of a gas in which electrons are no longer bound to atoms, which allows ...

Scientists have activated the smallest particle accelerator ever built—a tiny device roughly the size of a coin. This advancement opens new doors for particle acceleration, promising exciting ...

The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) has detected PeV (1015 eV) gamma-ray emission from a pulsar wind nebula powered by PSR J1849-0001 in the constellation Aquila, marking the ...

The Human Organ Atlas gives an extremely detailed look at 56 human organs, scanned with the help of a particle accelerator.

Built in 1945, Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer, or ENIAC, was the world’s first digital, programmable computer—it also weighed 30 tons and was the size of a small room. Today, computers ...

A beam of electrons crossed just a few millimeters of plasma, then helped trigger an effect that usually belongs to massive research sites. In this case, the light produced fell in the extreme ...

As SNS celebrates two decades of discovery, its story is far from complete. Building on the foundation of reliability, power ...

A computer-generated image based on a generative diffusion process shows 2D projections of a particle accelerator beam. Starting from pure noise, signals from the accelerator adaptively guide the ...
