Bessel Beams are impossible to create, can’t be destroyed, and don’t diffract. In other words, physics has discovered yet another thing that makes no sense. Bessel beams bear the name of Friedrich ...

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 ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) represents a pinnacle of high-energy physics research, where colliding proton beams at unprecedented energies have propelled exploration into the subatomic realm.

Ronald Davidson, a researcher at the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, has been selected to receive the Particle Accelerator Science and Technology Award for 2005. He ...

As space junk continues to multiply around our planet, threatening satellites and space missions, a new breakthrough proposes ...

A dead satellite can become a high-speed hazard in an orbit that is already packed with working spacecraft. That risk is why ...
