Particle accelerators are usually huge structures—think of the 3.2-km-long SLAC National Accelerator Lab in Stanford, California. But scientists have been hard at work trying to shrink these ...

How do you kill hard-to-reach tumors? Particle physics is on the case. How do you kill hard-to-reach tumors? Particle physics is on the case. New experiment hints that a particle breaks the known laws ...

There is technology being perfected to make particle accelerators 100-1000 times lower cost. This would enable production of nuclear material for space propulsion that could reach up to 0.5% of light ...
