PLATON, a new particle detector, eliminates the need for millions of detector components by using a single block of ...

Researchers from Trinity College Dublin's School of Engineering have built a powerful new machine that lets us watch precisely what happens when tiny particles—far smaller than a grain of sand—hit a ...

Particle accelerators are often framed as exotic machines built only to chase obscure particles, but they are really precision tools that use electric fields and magnets to steer tiny beams of matter ...

Powder and particle technology encompasses the production, characterisation and manipulation of discrete solid particles for a wide range of industrial and scientific applications. Central themes ...

SpaceX is taking significant steps toward improving the durability and reliability of its spacecraft and satellites by building its own particle accelerator in Florida. This new development was ...

Using a precisely aligned pair of laser beams, scientists can now hold a single aerosol particle in place and monitor how it charges up. The particle’s glow signals each step in its changing ...

How pharmaceuticals act, how efficient catalysts are and how effective and accurate printing inks function all depend on the size of the nanoparticles they contain. However, there are as of yet no ...
