The ATLAS Experiment at CERN has made two years' worth of scientific data available to the public for research purposes. The data include recordings of proton–proton collisions from the Large Hadron ...

When fundamental particles are heavier or lighter than expected, physicists' understanding of the universe can tip into the ...

Scientists at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider have observed particles emerging directly from empty ...

To learn more about the nature of matter, energy, space, and time, physicists smash high-energy particles together in large accelerator machines, creating sprays of millions of particles per second of ...

After a three-year-long nap, the world’s largest particle collider is awake and ready to help physicists probe the very edge of science itself, including the possible existence of a mysterious fifth ...

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 ...

AMES, Iowa – Three Iowa State University physicists have spent the past decade helping to upgrade hardware and untangle messy proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider in Europe. One ...

Deep beneath the Earth’s surface, a major physics experiment has reached a critical milestone, enabling detectors to operate ...

New experiments using one-dimensional gases of ultra-cold atoms reveal a universality in how quantum systems composed of many particles change over time following a large influx of energy that throws ...

Researechers are testing superconducting microwire single-photon detectors (SMSPDs) for use in future particle physics exepriments. The detectors, which were designed and fabricated at JPL and ...
