The first results have been reported on a collaboration between ETH Zürich and Australia's Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), looking at the impact of radiation on SiC devices for ...

Far lighter than other ions collided at the LHC, oxygen (and neon) could tell us about conditions in the early universe.

Generating power Klystrons are surging in importance thanks to growing interest in Higgs factories. In the pictured LHC klystron, the black ribs of the solenoid encasing the klystron vacuum tube are ...

Excited electrons Tan and his colleagues simulated the behaviour of three organic molecules, allene, butatriene and pyrazine, when they are hit with a particle of light, called a photon.

Scientists observed a real-life transmutation of lead into gold through a new mechanism involving near-miss interactions between atomic nuclei. But each of these gold particles is the size of a ...

In a scene that feels torn from the pages of medieval alchemy, the world’s most advanced physics laboratory has managed to achieve what mystics once only dreamed of – transforming one element into ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) recreates this extreme state on a micro scale by colliding lead nuclei at high speeds. However, most collisions are near misses, close enough for intense photon-photon ...

The Only Particle Collider in the U.S. Will Be Replaced with an Upgrade Brookhaven National Laboratory is pushing the boundaries of particle physics.

In a paper published in Physical Review Journals, the ALICE collaboration reports measurements that quantify the transmutation of lead into gold in CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Transforming the ...

The photon beam would then be directed into the hohlraum, where photons from the two different sources would collide, forming around 100,000 electron-positron pairs, which could be detected as ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2025.240250, discusses on-chip multi-channel near-far field terahertz vortices with parity breaking and active modulation. Vortex ...

Abstract Two-photon (2P) fluorescence imaging through gradient index (GRIN) lens-based endoscopes is fundamental to investigate the functional properties of neural populations in deep brain circuits.
