Around the world, policymakers have been increasingly turning to entrepreneurship as an important contributor to local economic development and job creation. At the same time, the short-term, ...

Tens of thousands of accelerators exist around the world, producing powerful particle beams for the benefit of medical diagnostics, cancer therapy, industrial manufacturing, material analysis, ...

Physicists have spent decades building colossal machines to hurl subatomic particles to near light speed, but the newest frontier in accelerator technology is smaller than a fingernail. By etching ...

Laser-plasma accelerators can accelerate particles over distances that are up to 1,000 times shorter than those required by conventional accelerators. The technology promises compact systems that have ...

Particle accelerators are crucial tools in a wide variety of areas in industry, research and the medical sector. The space these machines require ranges from a few square meters to large research ...

As startup accelerators multiply, some argue that they do a better job of serving their own interests than those of the businesses they’re supposed to help launch. But that suspicion glosses over the ...

High-energy physics require ever increasing beam energies to reach the frontiers of new science. The result of this requirement is machines of ever increasing size and cost 1. Acceleration gradients ...
