In 2016, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) approved the high-luminosity large hadron collider (HL-LHC) upgrade project. LHC is currently the largest and most powerful particle ...

In a multiyear effort involving three national laboratories from across the United States, researchers have successfully built and tested a powerful new magnet based on an advanced superconducting ...

The U.S. LHC Accelerator Program succeeded in testing a new superconducting high-field quadrupole magnet known as HQ02a last week in an international project to which Lawrence Berkeley National ...

Missing March Madness? Let Fermilab fill a small part of the void created in these times of social distancing and sheltering-in-place. Participate in our sendup of the NCAA tournament: March Magnets.

Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) accelerators represent a cornerstone technology in modern particle acceleration, combining the dual functions of beam bunching and acceleration. Employing specially ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. The principal objects in accession no ...

A trio of national U.S. labs have built and tested a powerful new magnet based on an advanced superconducting material. The eight-ton magnet—about as long as a semi-truck trailer—set a record for ...

In a milestone for global science collaboration, CERN took delivery today of the first US-built contribution to what will be the world’s highest-energy particle accelerator. The superconducting magnet ...

Like cats, magnets for physics experiments can have many lives. In 2015, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory repurposed two MRI magnets as part of a ...
