Scientists have created an ultrashort electron beam with five times more peak current than any other similar beam on Earth.

A groundbreaking achievement in particle physics has been made at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park, California. Scientists at SLAC have created an electron beam with an ...

A beam of electrons crossed just a few millimeters of plasma, then helped trigger an effect that usually belongs to massive ...

The experiment paves the way to potentially making an entirely new one: element 120, also known as the "island of stability." Reading time 2 minutes A team of scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley ...
