A recent astronomical discovery has left scientists puzzled as they track an object accelerating in a manner that defies the current understanding of physics. This enigmatic object, potentially ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. This helps, sort of, but as more numbers get thrown around, it can get ...

In a fixed-field alternating-gradient (FFAG) accelerator, eliminating pulsed magnet operation permits rapid acceleration to synchrotron energies, but with a much higher beam-pulse repetition rate.
