Goddamn awfulness, that’s what. Oh you want specifics? Alright, so technically nobody has ever been so unlucky as to find themselves in the path of either of the Large Hadron Collider’s proton beams ...

Some of the most fundamental questions about our universe are also the most difficult to answer. Questions like what gives matter its mass, what is the invisible 96 percent of the universe made of, ...

Linear accelerators have become an indispensable component in the advancement of particle therapy, offering precise control over the delivery of ionising radiation for cancer treatment. The field ...

Conceptual illustration of micronozzle acceleration (MNA). A solid hydrogen rod is embedded in an aluminum micronozzle, which channels and focuses plasma flow to optimize proton acceleration. Osaka, ...

I don't know about you, but ever since I started covering the Large Hadron Collider and other large-scale particle accelerators for ExtremeTech, I've always morbidly wondered: What would happen if a ...

The first wireless ionization chamber array for particle therapy PSQA delivers fast, reliable verification for proton and carbon ion treatments, supporting emerging techniques such as FLASH and ARC ...
