In a first-of-its-kind experiment, scientists have recreated "cosmic fireballs" here on Earth in a particle accelerator.The ...

Using CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron, researchers generated plasma fireballs to simulate blazar jets. The beams stayed ...

Scientists have created an ultrashort electron beam with five times more peak current than any other similar beam on Earth.

Due to government shutdown restrictions currently in place in the US, the researchers who headed up this study have not been able to comment on their work Laser plasma acceleration (LPA) may be used ...

Bessel Beams are impossible to create, can’t be destroyed, and don’t diffract. In other words, physics has discovered yet another thing that makes no sense. Bessel beams bear the name of Friedrich ...

A groundbreaking achievement in particle physics has been made at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park, California. Scientists at SLAC have created an electron beam with an ...

Scientists have created an ultrashort electron beam with five times more peak current than any other similar beam on Earth. Described in a paper published in Physical Review Letters, this achievement ...

IOTA, the new test accelerator, gives researchers rich and varied opportunities to dive deep into the physics of particle beams. On August 21, a beam of electrons successfully circulated for the first ...
