The most significant type of interaction is simply between the charge of the electron and an applied electric field (say, from another charged particle nearby). This creates a very large energy ...

A new study suggests that an ultra-energetic cosmic ray which approached Earth from the direction of a vast intergalactic ...

Particle accelerators produce and accelerate beams of charged ... A composite device to add energy to the particles and speed them up by applying a static or oscillating electric field; (3) A sequence ...

Discover how Earth's ambipolar electric field shields us from cosmic threats, influences atmospheric evolution, and could ...

Around this time, Lawrence happened to read a German paper describing a linear accelerator that boosted a particle's energy in steps using alternating electric fields. This did increase the ...

But scientists now believe they can create particle accelerators that can fit on a chip smaller than a penny. The device uses lasers and dielectrics instead of electric fields and metal.

Particle accelerators are used extensively ... Electrons trapped in the bubble experience an extremely large electric field that increases towards the back of the bubble structure.

Particle acceleration using DC voltages like ... the relativistic mass so they lose synchronization with the RF electric field of the cyclotron. This was compensated by varying the RF frequency ...

Particles moving close to a planar wall undergo a considerable decrease in velocity, because of the viscous forces of the underlying fluid. The previous studies on electrophoretic migration very close ...

Quantum field theory marries the ideas ... apart from the opposite electric charge. The positron, the first antimatter particle, was duly discovered in cosmic rays a few years later.
