The future of particle acceleration has begun. Awake is a promising concept for a completely new method with which particles can be accelerated even over short distances. The basis for this is a ...

Scientists at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, have run the first tests on a new kind of accelerator, exploring a method that can dramatically cut the size of future particle ...

Aristos is a Newsweek science and health reporter with the London, U.K., bureau. He is particularly focused on archaeology and paleontology, although he has covered a wide variety of topics ranging ...

According to legend, Galileo dropped weights off the Leaning Tower of Pisa, showing that gravity causes objects of different masses to fall with the same acceleration. In recent years, researchers ...

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 ...

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

Everyone should probably know that I'm obsessed with both physics and smart phones. If I can use my phone for a physics experiment, I'm good to go. That's exactly what I am going to do right now—use ...
