For more than two decades, researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory’s particle accelerator have recreated conditions ...

Physicists are using the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to test key accelerator strategies for a new state-of-the-art Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) that will reuse some of RHIC's crucial ...

Laser-plasma interactions have emerged as a cornerstone of advanced particle accelerator research, where ultrashort, ultraintense laser pulses interact with matter to generate extreme electric fields.

Over the past three decades, lithium-ion batteries, rechargeable batteries that move lithium ions back and forth to charge and discharge, have enabled smaller devices that juice up faster and last ...

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) achieved the first direct laboratory observation of ion acceleration through reflection off laser-generated magnetized ...

A drop of methanol is distorted to form a cup of hot plasma. Plasma waves are driven in this cup by an intense laser, releasing hot electrons, followed by accelerated protons. Laser Ion acceleration ...
