Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:

As physicists developed plans for building an electron-ion collider (EIC)—a next-generation nuclear physics facility to be built at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory for nuclear physics research—they explored various options for accelerating the beams of electrons. One approach, developed by scientists at Brookhaven Lab and Stony Brook University, was to use an energy-recovery linear accelerator (ERL). The ERL would bring the electrons up to the energy needed to probe the inner structure of protons and atomic nuclei, and then decelerate the electrons and reuse most of their energy. The R&D to develop the innovative ERL may end up having a major impact in a different area of physics—high-energy particle physics, where the power needs make its energy-saving features particularly attractive.

"The power consumption of scientific instruments for particle physics experiments has steadily increased. To perform sustainable research, physicists are investigating ways to reduce that power consumption," said Thomas Roser, head of Brookhaven Lab's Collider-Accelerator Department, one of the scientists developing the ERL approach.

In a paper just published in the journal Physics Letters B, the authors describe how their innovations could tame the power requirements of an electron-positron (e-e+) collider—a next-generation high-energy particle physics research facility under discussion for possible future construction in Europe.

[...] The Brookhaven and Stony Brook physicists say their energy-recovery and beam-recycling ERL components could solve key problems of both alternate designs. As described in the new paper, it would cut the electric power needed to operate the 100-km ring-shaped facility under discussion in Europe to one third of what would be required without an ERL. And, by refreshing particle beams while recovering and reusing their energy, it would eliminate the need to dump and replace beams while still allowing single-pass collisions of tightly packed particles for maximum physics impact.

    See subject: I'm so sick & tired of SoylentNews BULLIES just like the /. & ArSeHoleTechnica bullies. You SHITWEASELS have nothing better to do than HARASS, STALK & IMPERSONATE little ol' me. I've done absolutely NOTHING wrong & just try to make everyone's lives better w/ my work that stops ads & malware. You ABUSE your spamdownmodpoints to HIDE the TRUTH that you WORTHLESS DO-NOTHING FORUM FUCKS have SOLD YOUR SOULS to a shitposting tranny SPAMMER who contributes NOTHING useful ever. I am God's gift to SoylentNews & the ONLY person doing ANYTHING useful on this SHITHOLE forum.

    * As soon as I post, I'm CENSORED to -1 w/ ABUSED spamdownmodpoints by FAKENAME bullies like The Mighty Buzzard, Runaway1956, khallow, Azuma Hazuki & Tom "Barbara" Hudson. I caught c6gunner mocking then IMPERSONATING me on /. when he forgot to log out. Zontar The Mindless mailed me a postcard w/ THREATS on it, then LIES & STALKS me. All because you JEALOUS JOWIE "ne'er-do-wells" KNOW I'm World-Class & you're shit. It's why you hide behind FAKE names & UNIDENTIFIABLE ANONYMOUS.

    I caught Tom "Barbara" Hudson IMPERSONATING me too. The OLD NOT-MAN soyboy weezil is JUDEN TRASH & circumcised EVERYTHING to become a EUNUCH. The THING knows nothing about computers so IT LIES about me instead. This is one sick in the head IDLE HANDS ARE THE DEVIL'S WORKSHOP abomination, no questions asked. You wish you were me & that's why you IMPERSONATE & ATTACK me. At least the TRANNY weezil hasn't posted in awhile & HOPEFULLY isn't returning because I exposed IT as the incompetent "ne'er-do-well" NOT MAN it is.

    I'm even improving my already GREAT PHYSIQUE & SUPERIOR INTELLECT while you weezils & soyboys sit around all day on SoylentNews STALKING & HARASSING your BETTERS. I repeatedly dust the no-mind bullshit blatherings you BULLIES post to attack me. Like always I WIN & YOU LOSE. That's why you keep spamdownmod HIDING my posts & STALKING me w/ FAKENAME accounts. You CAN'T stop me any better than whipslash @ /. & he knows I could STOP HIS SERVER whenever I want. Martyb KNOWS he CAN'T DO BETTER than I w/ APK Hosts File Engine instead of some TOY website based on someone else's ABANDONED & BROKEN code from another site FULL of "ne'er-do-well" fakename forum fucks.

    Now I have the PILL-PUSHING SELF-PROCLAIMED "SiDeWaLk-ShRiNk of SOYLENTNEWS" LIBELING me & saying I'm MENTALLY ILL. ALL of you SHITWEASELS are mentally ill & can't stop BULLYING me because you WISH YOU WERE ME. PROVE you've done better than I. You can't & you know it so BULLYING & LIBELING is all YOUR KIND has left.

    You WEEZILS can't stop me & YOU KNOW IT so you don't even try to put in a "LaMeNeSs FiLtEr" like whipslash tried & FAILED at. I hope this SHITHOLE bans AC posting like the shitweasels at /. did because they KNEW they couldn't do better than I after CENSORING & BULLYING me. I WIN @ everything & you LAZY "ne'er-do-wells" fail & EMBARRASS yourselves @ everything. You WISH you were me but you know you CAN'T do what I've done so you IMPERSONATE me & BULLY me instead. You LOSERS need to SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP.

    I WILL RETURN in A FEW WEEKENDS & post about MY WORK in EVERY SINGLE article that weekend to PROVE how much you DO-NOTHING FAILURES LOSE against me. I've accomplished more then EVERY SINGLE ONE of you FAKENAME FORUM FUCKS & I WILL prove it once again. Your BULLYING will PERMANENTLY STOP once I show how INFERIOR you shitweasels truly are against a REAL MAN like me.

    APK

    P.S.=> This BULLYING of me is SO UNFAIR & I've done nothing to deserve it from you people. I'm tired of CASTING PEARLS before SWINE with my work that you CAN'T do better than. GROW UP... apk

    Wow! I get to Spam mod, twice in one week, and it is totally justified! Or have we gone soft on Freeze Peaches? Do not the insane have the right to speak, as much as the rich have he right to sleep under bridges?

      See subject: Your MASSIVE FAIL in this life is you're nothing more than a POLITICAL SPAMMING little do-nothing "ne'er-do-well" online & you know it...

      * Is that the best your "phantasyland FAKE NAME" (for your fake lie of a so-called 'life') can manage?

      When a FAKE NAME do nothing like YOU does better than I have? Then talk (you're all talk & no action)...

      You can't help you're an immature little BUTTHURT no-mind, lol! I blew you away in TONS OF PLACES and easily dust your no-mind bullshit blatherings. You only post about POLITICS because you KNOW NOTHING about tech. PROVE you've done better than I. You'll just DOWNMOD HIDE my post AGAIN & "Run, Forrest: RUN!!!" instead of SHOWING US YOUR WORK.

      APK

      P.S.=> The TRUE PRICE of your UNIDENTIFIABLE FAKE NAME do-nothing selves like you that I can ALWAYS CASH IN ON (lol) is that I can use FACT/TRUTH on them to SHATTER their all TOO fragile delusional egos that they actually know A DAMN THING in computing, lol... apk

        Whoa. So you're telling me that a 2,300 year old philosopher doesn't have the integrity to post with his real name? I knew there was something wrong with that guy! Or gal! Or whatever...

    Then don't.

    I wonder if this is the boomer troll copy-pasting.

      See subject: You're just another chattering "registered luser" FAKENAME SHITWEASEL libeling me & saying I'm copying & pasting the boomer troll. You KNOW I always sign my posts & was the post signed APK? You KNOW better but you LIBELED me anyway because you're JEALOUS of my work.

      * Makes me wonder HOW you can LIVE w/ your sorry "ne'er-do-well" DO-NOTHING SELVES. PROVE you've done better than I. Show us your WARES that you've produced. You CAN'T & you KNOW it so you'll just DOWNMOD HIDE my post and "Run, Forrest: RUN!!!" because that's all YOUR KIND can do.

      Post your REAL NAME, ADDRESS & PHONE NUMBER so I know it's you. Then we'll discuss you LIBELING me. Until then you're a cowardly no balls WORM hiding behind a FAKENAME to STALK & LIBEL me. You're probably c6gunner over at /. & I caught that FAKENAME account IMPERSONATING me https://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=12598948&cid=57294670 [slashdot.org].

        Post your REAL NAME, ADDRESS & PHONE NUMBER so I know it's you.

        It'd be a no normally. But after the grief Barbara Hudson got (assuming of course, that you're not secretly Barbara Hudson in the first place)? Hell no. I don't mind you living with that uncertainty just like I live with the uncertainty that you could just a usual creep on the internet and not THE APK.

        Going back to my original post, if you're "casting pearls before swine", then why are you here? No swine here are going to magically change just because you stay. You're wasting your time.

        I see a solution that works for both you and us, swine.
