Proton-antiproton collision experiments at CERN and Fermilab depend on cooling techniques that allow swarms of unruly antiprotons, created by smashing protons into a small target, to be gathered into ...

In collaborative international effort, laser physicists at LMU have built the first hybrid plasma accelerator. Particle accelerators have made crucial contributions to some of the most spectacular ...

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 ...

Go with the flow: tracing 1-micron-diameter fluorescent particles using the twin-Airy-beam technique produces a 3D map of blood flow in a zebrafish. Each colour represents a different particle. The ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the observation that matter behaves differently at the smallest scales. A key ...
