CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, has deployed a proton accelerator at its Education and Outreach Center. Named Experimental Linac for Surface Analysis or ELISA, this accelerator ...

Europe's top physics lab CERN launches its newest particle accelerator, billed as a key step towards future experiments that could unlock the universe's greatest mysteries.

After an almost two-year shutdown for repairs and upgrades, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is beginning to fire back up for its next phase of probing the mysteries of physics. Its newest particle ...

The oldest particle accelerator at CERN, home to the world’s most powerful particle accelerator, is celebrating its 60th birthday. It’s still running. The Proton Synchrotron (PS) accelerated its first ...

Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...

Particle accelerators like the LHC require intricate beam dump systems to safely dispose of high-energy particles after each run. The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is the world’s most powerful ...

An advisory committee recommends the US work to advance three key areas of emerging accelerator technology. To study some of the smallest things in the universe, particle physicists use some of the ...

Europe's physics lab CERN on Thursday said private donors had pledged $1 billion towards the construction of a new particle accelerator that would be by far the world's biggest. In a first, private ...
