If one particle accelerator alone is not enough to achieve the desired result, why not combine two accelerators? Physicists have now implemented this idea. They combined two plasma-based acceleration ...

A new kind of plasma accelerator has cleared a hurdle that has dogged the field for decades, lifting electron energy and beam brightness at the same time instead of forcing scientists to trade one for ...

Researchers from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), have designed innovative technology that can generate both ...

With dual lasers, researchers have accelerated a high-quality beam of electrons to 10 billion electronvolts in just 30 centimeters. The experiment gives scientists a 'frame-by-frame' look at how a ...

High-NA EUV extends resolution by increasing optical numerical aperture, but at the cost of dramatically more complex and expensive optical systems. The industry is therefore confronting a dual ...

Particle accelerators, like the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland, allow scientists to study the most fundamental particles, but they operate on a massive scale. The tunnel that houses ...

A new method of creating laser pulses, more than 1,000 times as powerful as those currently in existence, has been proposed by scientists in the UK and South Korea. The scientists have used computer ...
