For the first time, by studying quantum correlations between triplets of secondary particles created during high-energy collisions in the LHC accelerator, it has been possible to observe their ...

The world's most powerful particle accelerator will Monday shutter operations for four years of renovations to dramatically ...

Hot on the heels of proving an 87-year-old prediction that matter can be generated directly from light, Rice University physicists and their colleagues have detailed how that process may impact future ...

The LHC facility at CERN is famous for the discovery of the Higgs boson, dubbed the ‘God particle’.

Ready to go: the Belle II experiment will run on Japan's SuperKEKB accelerator. (Courtesy: KEK) The first electron–positron collisions occurred at an upgrade to one of Japan’s premier particle-physics ...

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 ...

Electrical resistance is easy to notice and hard to pin down. Power lines shed energy as heat, and metals warm up when ...

In a paper in Nature, the ALICE Collaboration 1 reports that data from high-energy collisions between protons can be used to investigate the little-understood nuclear forces between protons and ...

In the world of research, diffusion is understood as a process in which tiny particles disperse uniformly throughout a gas or liquid. Although these media are made up of individual particles, ...

Ideas of high-energy particle physics have been borrowed for a device that might bring insight into fundamental questions of chemical physics — the molecular synchrotron. A whole number of ...
