Inside the most powerful particle colliders on Earth, protons slam together at nearly the speed of light, shredding matter ...

The Large Hadron Collider is going to be shut down — not permanently, but for a pretty long time — and the famous atom ...

Heavy collisions Artist’s impression charged particle tracks streaming from a collision of two uranium nuclei overlaid on a sketch of the STAR detector at RHIC. The incoming uranium nuclei are shown ...

A team of scientists has devised a machine learning algorithm that calculates, with low computational time, how the ATLAS detector in the Large Hadron Collider would respond to the ten times more data ...

First collisions at an upgrade to one of Japan’s premier particle-physics experiments are set to begin in April 2018. Following six years of work, the SuperKEKB accelerator will start smashing its ...

In 2016, Earth’s South Pole was struck by a ghostly particle from some unknown corner of the universe. This antineutrino — the neutrino’s antimatter twin — collided with an electron at nearly the ...

Physicists at the world’s leading atom smasher are calling for help. In the next decade, they plan to produce up to 20 times more particle collisions in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) than they do ...

When matter collides with antimatter, both vanish in a powerful energy burst. Scientists explain who truly wins this cosmic ...

Transverse spin asymmetries in high-energy particle collisions are a significant area of research in particle physics, particularly in understanding the internal structure of protons and the dynamics ...

The US physics community dreams of building a muon collider. In the spring of 2022, Karri DiPetrillo was gearing up for the final step of the Snowmass particle physics community planning process. It ...

China’s decision to halt work on what was meant to be the world’s largest particle accelerator has reshaped the global race ...

Physicists are exploring whether hidden dimensions and the shape of space could help explain why fundamental particles have ...
