Particle physics has chosen low-temperature superconducting technology for the International Linear Collider. What is "cold," and why have particle physicists lowered the temperature on a new accelerator?
The discovery of an elementary particle that looked a lot like the electron, but had 3500 times its mass stunned most particle physicists three decades ago.
After waiting more than a year for safety and maintenance arrangements, sculptor Douglas Abdell's Kryeti-Aekyad set foot outside the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center's main auditorium on August 6.
