Linear accelerators have become an indispensable component in the advancement of particle therapy, offering precise control over the delivery of ionising radiation for cancer treatment. The field ...

A high-voltage transmission electron microscope (HVTEM) small enough to fit inside a university lab has been built for the first time by researchers in Japan. The team, led by Takumi Sannomiya at ...

FLASH radiotherapy, delivered using ultrahigh-dose-rate (UHDR) radiation beams, can significantly reduce normal tissue toxicity while maintaining anti-tumour efficacy. Preclinical studies ...

Particle physics has chosen low-temperature superconducting technology for the International Linear Collider. What is "cold," and why have particle physicists lowered the temperature on a new ...

Three new studies show the promise and challenge of using plasma wakefield acceleration to build a future electron-positron collider. Matter is known to exist in four different states: solid, liquid, ...

Deep beneath the border of France and Switzerland is the most massive, most ambitious experiment ever undertaken by humanity. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator that uses a ...
