A whole library’s worth of papyri owned by Julius Caesar’s father-in-law were turned to charcoal by the eruption of Vesuvius. Nearly 2000 years later, we can at last read these lost treasures

TAU Systems technology uses ultra-fast lasers and AI to open accelerator beamtime to industry

In a dramatic leap for astrophysics, Chinese researchers have recreated a key cosmic process in the lab: the acceleration of ions by powerful collisionless shocks. By using intense lasers to simulate...

In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers have provided the first compelling evidence that even microquasars with low-mass stars are capable of efficiently accelerating particles. This pivotal finding significantly alters our understanding of gamma-ray abundance throughout the universe, opening up exciting new avenues in astrophysics. The Cosmic Particle Landscape Our planet is under a constant bombardment of particles hailing from the vast reaches of outer space.
