Big things are expected out of the recently upgraded Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility at Jefferson Lab, even if what exactly will be discovered by the 1,600 scientists using the facility ...

A new facility will allow Sandia National Laboratories to continue its work with particle beams.For 40 years, the ion beam lab was in an old, temporary building. Now the new building houses a large ...

At the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, the underground Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) more closely resembles a racetrack than it does ...

Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — Researchers at a UAlbany lab got a major boost of federal funds. NEWS10 went underground to see how it will be put to use. Buried deep below the ground on UAlbany’s uptown ...

Physicists have demonstrated accelerating light beams on flat surfaces, where acceleration has caused the beams to follow curved trajectories. However, a new experiment has pushed the boundaries of ...

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 ...

Scientists have beamed a laser into the sky, which is visible from miles around. The spectacle, known as The Beam, marks the ...
