TAU Systems, the developer of next-generation ultrafast laser-plasma accelerators, today announced the collaboration with ...

The first observation of gamma rays with energies of more than a billion electron volts came from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope in 2011.

Researchers have demonstrated a compact particle accelerator less than 20 meters long that produces an electron beam with an energy of 10 billion electron volts (10 GeV). There are only two other ...

For reference, 1 exa-electron volt equals 1 billion gigaelectron-volts, and 1 gigaelectron volt is 1 billion electron volts. That would make the Amaterasu particle 244,000,000,000,000,000,000 ...

Now, for the first time, the team has shown that the energies of the sun’s rays extend into the tera electron volts range, up to nearly 10 TeV, Nisa said. She noted that level does appear to be ...

Ruling out the pulsar’s radiation allowed the astrophysicists to see a source of even higher-energy gamma rays — 10 to 500 billion electron volts — somewhere in the middle part of the cloud.

And now there’s Vela, with gamma rays blasting out of its poles with 20 trillion electron volts of energy (and flashing us every 11 seconds as the pulsar twirls frantically on its axis).

The USA has only two accelerators that can produce 10 billion electron-volt particle beams, and they're each about 1.9 miles long. "We can now reach those energies in 10 cm," said the CEO of TAU ...

Researchers from The University of Texas at Austin, several national laboratories, European universities and the Texas-based company TAU Systems Inc. have demonstrated a compact particle accelerator ...

When they have been fattened to about 1 billion electron-volts (or 1 BEV, as physicists call it), they begin to radiate visible light. At 2 BEV, they radiate the more powerful ultraviolet rays.

F or ten months the world’s most powerful particle accelerator (or atom smasher) was at Geneva, Switzerland, generating a beam of protons with up to 28 Bev (billion electron-volts) of energy ...
