You're sitting in physics class, working on a traditional problem involving forces and acceleration, when you start to wonder where these terms even came from. Were they just dreamed up to bring ...

The ultra smooth mirror was required to enable the researchers to perform experiments on electron acceleration in medium density gas jets, with the subsequent goal to ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new technique for accelerating electrons to very high energies over short distances. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research ...

Particle accelerators can speed up subatomic particles almost to the speed of light. The tradeoff is that this requires miles-long tunnels, so such machines are ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN)--operators of the world's largest particle physics lab--near Geneva, Switzerland, is said to be the largest ...

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) achieved the first direct laboratory observation of ion acceleration through reflection off laser-generated magnetized ...

Scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN)—operators of the world's largest particle physics lab—have conducted a groundbreaking experiment demonstrating a new technique for ...
