Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy collisions produce a shower of subatomic fragments that scientists ...

A research team has discovered a new particle at Cern in Geneva. The discovery should help to better understand the strong force that holds matter together. The discovery was presented at the Moriond ...

Scientists have used a novel new approach to discover the potential origins of the sun goddess particle Amaterasu, the second most energetic cosmic ray ever to be detected striking Earth.

The design of modern particle physics detectors can become a strong benchmark for contemporary machine-learning techniques. It offers a realistic large-scale optimization task grounded in ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: It used to be thought that bizarre interactions between subatomic particles known as neutrinos could be explained by another type of neutrino. The ...

Experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider reveal how surprisingly fragile atomic nuclei can emerge from extreme particle collisions that briefly recreate conditions hotter than the Sun’s core. The ...

Ah, dark matter particles, what could you be? The answer still eludes us, and astronomers keep trying new ideas to find them. A new paper in Physical Review Letters suggests that if dark matter is ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have pulled off a breakthrough that pushes the boundaries of quantum physics into new territory. The team successfully demonstrated quantum squeezing of the ...

“We met Patrick in the early days of Fall Out Boy and had more recently talked about having him contribute to this album,” Cain says of the collaboration. “He told us he had an idea running through ...

Forget about turtles; for all practical purposes, it’s really particles all the way down. Consider the seemingly simple matter of their size, the very thing that makes them so alien. We’re typically ...
