Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The ...

Large numbers of particle collision events could be analysed by placing them within “social networks” that organize events according to their degrees of similarity with each other. That is the claim ...

Deep inside every atom lies a restless world of quarks and gluons—the tiny building ...

The first data from proton–lead collisions at the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN include a “ridge” structure in correlations between newly generated ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

image: Physicists has shown that it is possible to observe the wave properties of massive particles at room temperature, in practically any modern physics laboratory, because it is only necessary to ...

Smashing atomic nuclei together at mind-bending speeds recreates the fiery conditions of the early universe and scientists are finally getting a better handle on what happens next. A sweeping new ...

Scientists working on CERN’s ALICE experiment have reported the first observation of a distinctive flow pattern among quarks in proton-proton collisions, a signal long associated with quark-gluon ...

A big part of physics is understanding collisions and how they're not all the same. COLLISIONS! A big part of physics is understanding collisions and how they're not all the same. Mass, momentum, and ...

The hunt for new physics is back on. The world’s most powerful machine for smashing high-energy particles together, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), has fired up after a shutdown of more than three ...
