Scientists recently fired up the world's smallest particle accelerator for the first time. The tiny technological triumph, which is around the size of a small coin, could open the door to a wide range ...

SpaceX is no longer content to just launch hardware into orbit; it now wants to recreate key parts of the space environment in its own lab. By building a proton particle accelerator, the company is ...

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 ...

(via PBS Space Time) Cern's Large Hadron Collider routinely collides particles at energies equivalent to a fraction of a second after the Big Bang. If this worries you, then the following fact will ...

Physicists have now demonstrated a particle accelerator so small it fits inside a single molecule, shrinking one of science’s most imposing machines to the scale of chemistry. Instead of ...

It hasn't existed since the beginning of time itself, but now scientists have managed to create what they call quark soup. This substance is believed to be the smallest, hottest, and densest state of ...
