Whenever SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory's linear accelerator is on, packs of around a billion electrons each travel together at nearly the speed of light through metal piping. These electron ...

Particle accelerators are the engines of particle physics research at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. They generate nearly light-speed, subatomic particles that scientists study to get to the ...

Scientists have developed a new machine-learning platform that makes the algorithms that control particle beams and lasers smarter than ever before. Their work could help lead to the development of ...

Wolfgang “Pief” Panofsky, the nuclear physicist and brilliant administrator who was the driving force for the creation of Stanford University’s 2-mile-long linear electron accelerator, made crucial ...

Marco Carlone, founder of Linax Technologies, talks to Tami Freeman about his motivation for creating an online learning tool that teaches medical physicists how to use and understand linear ...

TWIN FALLS — A new piece of equipment in Twin Falls will allow St. Luke’s to be more precise in treating cancers with radiation. St. Luke’s Mountain States Tumor Institute is replacing one of its two ...

In 2012, scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, proved the existence of the Higgs boson, the elementary particle that grants other particles their mass. The ...

A powerful X-Ray machine at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in Menlo Park is giving a special look into some historic documents. With a combination of history, science, technology and liberal arts, ...

The linear accelerator at Stanford University's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California is shut down and two research labs idled after a fire damaged electrical equipment that helps power ...
