Twenty-five feet below ground, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory scientist Spencer Gessner opens a large metal picnic basket. This is not your typical picnic basket filled with cheese, bread and ...

Scientists are unlocking new secrets of the universe with tiny particles called plasmons. These plasmons allow researchers to confine powerful electromagnetic energy within spaces smaller than a grain ...

Scientists have developed a new particle detector that can measure incredibly short bursts of electrons lasting just one ...

There are many applications for particle accelerators, even outside research facilities, but for the longest time they have been large, cumbersome machines, not to mention very expensive to operate.

In the case of the most recalcitrant by-product of the nuclear industry, physics has never been the bottleneck. It has been engineering: How to transform a great idea on paper into hardware that is ...

An international collaboration has developed a new diagnostic technique for measuring ultra-short particle beams at STFC's Central Laser Facility. This collaboration is led by the University of ...

Physicists at multiple institutions are compressing particle accelerators from facility-scale machines stretching hundreds of meters down to devices that fit on a laboratory bench or even a silicon ...
