Scientists in the Asian nation are excited about the fire-up of their latest synchotron, a particle accelerator featuring a 30-GeV Main Ring. The J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex) is managed by a multi-national T2K neutrino collaboration, and has over the weekend made its first neutrino observations.... |

Scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the group that manages the Large Hadron Collider, announced that the first proton beams had already been injected in the massive particle accelerator, and that they had completed thousands of spins in its tunnels. The 27-kilometer-long facility saw ... |

Scientists working with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are undoubtedly among some of the luckiest investigators on the planet, having been given the chance to contribute to the most advanced research experiments in the history of humankind. But, even though the particle accelerator has yet to produce concrete result... |

According to CERN, the operator of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), engineers have recently been able to successfully inject particle beams inside sections of the amazingly large particle accelerator. The world's largest physics experiment was shut down in September 2008, after a leak compromised a section of th... |

While a temperature of about 35,000 degrees Fahrenheit may seem a bit hot to most of us, physicists would consider it just warm. Within it, they say, resides warm dense matter, a type of matter that has been brought up to a high temperature, but not high enough to start undergoing nuclear fusion. One place where this... |

In spite of the fact that the 27-kilometer-long Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was built in order to further our understanding of particle physics, and also to discover the elusive Higgs boson, engineers and physicists are also planning other uses for it. In the near future, one such purpose may be to test the validity ... |

Uranium is the heaviest chemical element that can be found in nature. Over the years, scientists have been trying to discover other, heavier chemicals, and their efforts yielded plutonium in the 1940s, which went on to be used for weapons of mass destruction. Others have been discovered since, but our ability to synt... |

According to initial plans, the Large Hadron Collider should have already produced its first scientific results by now. But, as it stands, malfunctions have delayed its operation considerably, and now experts are working around the clock on bringing the largest particle accelerator in the world back online. As repair... |

Scientists at the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility have recently taken a huge step forward in advancing particle-accelerator technology when they have created the first US-built superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) niobium cavity. The new instrument was designed spec... |

The US Department of Energy (DOE)-operated Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in Tennesse, is the proud owner of the world's largest accelerator-based neutron source, the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). Built and funded by an unprecedented cooperative effort from six DOE laboratories (Argonne, Lawrence Berkeley, Br... |

Shortly after managing to fix the helium leaks that forced engineers to shut down the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) last September, project managers discovered another fluke. This time, they identified two areas of vacuum leak, in regions of the particle accelerator that needed to be cooled near absolute zero. The new ... |

Astronomers have finally discovered proof that confirms a long-held belief, namely that the shock waves generated by supernova explosions act like giant and extremely powerful particle accelerators. They came to this conclusion when they recently discovered that cosmic-ray particles, generated only when a massive sta... |

The Large Hadron Collider is the largest scientific experiment ever built by human hands and, as such, is the structure scientists expect most from. Among the possible outcomes of LHC experiments, the most important ones include the discovery of the Higgs boson (God's particle), the creation of anti-matter, the ... |

You might confuse a Van de Graaff generator with the Tesla coil from time to time, due to certain features that make them resemble, however they are two different instruments producing different effects. A Tesla coil is a type of resonant transformer invented by Nicola Tesla, which produces high voltages and very hig... |
