This Collection invites original research articles on the development and optimisation of synchrotron accelerator technologies. Topics include the next generation of accelerator architectures, ...

Running a synchrotron light source is a massive team effort that brings hundreds of highly skilled and specialized professionals together. The radiofrequency (RF) group at the National Synchrotron ...

A desktop synchrotron particle accelerator could soon be able to freeze-frame the frenetic motion of atoms and molecules. Using a laser, some gas, and a row of magnets, an international team of ...

Machines like cyclotrons and synchrotrons help scientists recreate the conditions of the Big Bang and probe the very edges of particle physics. They also tend to be very big. Now, a new study details ...

An international team of scientists, led by the University of Oxford, has achieved a world-first by creating plasma "fireballs" using the Super Proton Synchrotron accelerator at CERN, Geneva, to study ...

Advanced synchrotron radiation sources have revolutionized structural biology, allowing X-ray crystallographers to solve complex macromolecular structures. But as few of these soccer field-sized ...
