Semiconductor chips are among the smallest and most detailed objects humans can manufacture. Shrinking the scale and upping the complexity is a fight against the limits of physics, and optical ...

We’re used to seeing ever greater particle accelerators — colossal machines sprawling across landscapes, built to reveal the smallest details of the universe. Think of the Large Hadron Collider and ...

Built in 1945, Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer, or ENIAC, was the world's first digital, programmable computer—it also weighed 30 tons and was the size of a small room. Today, computers ...

Texas A&M University professor Peter McIntyre and his colleagues want to build a particle accelerator around the rim of the Gulf of Mexico in order to discover the most fundamental building blocks of ...

A particle accelerator on display in a museum exhibition is rare. But a functioning particle accelerator conducting real scientific research in a museum exhibition? That's unprecedented. After years ...

A particle accelerator that produces intense X-rays could be squeezed into a device that fits on a table, my colleagues and I have found in a new research project. The way that intense X-rays are ...

Researchers have developed a high-tech system that rapidly scans ants and converts them into detailed 3D models. Using a synchrotron accelerator, X-ray imaging, robotics, and AI, the team scanned ...

Researchers are using an instrument at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory to uncover the original text of reused parchments. Jacqueline Ramseyer Orrell / SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory A ...
