Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...

After years of careful investigation, researchers working on the Micro Booster Neutrino Experiment (MicroBooNE) have determined that a ...

In 1929, Ernest Orlando Lawrence invented the cyclotron: a compact, efficient particle accelerator that used magnets. Two ...

Europe's top physics lab CERN launches its newest particle accelerator, billed as a key step towards future experiments that could unlock the universe's greatest mysteries.

Physicists have now demonstrated a particle accelerator so small it fits inside a single molecule, shrinking one of science’s most imposing machines to the scale of chemistry. Instead of ...

Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in physics: string theory. This rare particle—never seen before and predicted not ...
