Expectations were running high. For months, the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC), an innovative particle accelerator nearing completion at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Facility (SLAC) in Palo Alto, ...

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 ...

For decades, Europe and the United States have led the way when it comes to high-energy particle colliders. But a proposal by China that is quietly gathering momentum has raised the possibility that ...

Just a few hundred feet from where we are sitting is a large metal chamber devoid of air and draped with the wires needed to control the instruments inside. A beam of particles passes through the ...

Deep beneath the border of France and Switzerland is the most massive, most ambitious experiment ever undertaken by humanity. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator that uses a ...

TWIN FALLS — A new piece of equipment in Twin Falls will allow St. Luke’s to be more precise in treating cancers with radiation. St. Luke’s Mountain States Tumor Institute is replacing one of its two ...

POCATELLO — The Portneuf Cancer Center has further modernized its facility after acquiring a new state-of-the-art linear accelerator machine called a Varian TrueBeam that helps doctors deliver high ...

The U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) has announced $16 million for fifteen projects that will implement artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) methods to accelerate scientific discovery ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. Object 1978.1073.01.1 is the first ...

COME VISIT THE SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (usually called SLAC), on the edge of the Stanford University campus, to learn about the inner workings of its 2-mile-long accelerator, which is ...

Particle accelerators are the engines of particle physics research at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. They generate nearly light-speed, subatomic particles that scientists study to get to the ...

Wolfgang “Pief” Panofsky, the nuclear physicist and brilliant administrator who was the driving force for the creation of Stanford University’s 2-mile-long linear electron accelerator, made crucial ...
