Misha Glenny and guests discuss the machines that are described as the world’s largest experiments: Particle Accelerators. A ...

Planned to be the largest particle accelerator in the world, China's Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) was meant to be about 100 kilometers or 62 miles long. That's much bigger than CERN's ...

While scientists are known for their dedication to their research, crawling on the floor to avoid electrocution for the sake of a measurement seems a little excessive. But this is what British ...

In the early 1930s, scientists were just beginning to discover the extraordinary world hidden inside the atom, which is made up of a dense center, called the nucleus, with electrons orbiting around it ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest, most powerful particle accelerator, and the center of many a conspiracy, has been shut down. After completing a final collision and physics run on ...

Here's what you'll learn when you read this story: CERN's Super Proton Synchrotron will turn 50 in 2026—and it has a resonant "ghost." Using mathematics, physicists measured and modeled how these ...

Atoms will reveal their secrets—you just need enough speed to coerce them. Scientists have known this since at least the 1920s, when they first started firing particles at nuclei via large tubes ...

Researchers at TU Wien and MedAustron have developed a method to measure the carbon-to-helium ratio of a mixed ion beam ...
