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

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 ...

The world’s largest atom smasher has conducted its first-ever collisions between protons and oxygen ions, as part of an ambitious campaign to include a series of historic firsts, among which ...

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 ...

The Large Hadron Collider is working more efficiently, physicists announced Monday, with more particles than ever before crammed into the particle accelerator's beams. Scientists successfully halved ...

The world's largest atom smasher has recorded its first high-energy collisions of protons, a spokeswoman said Wednesday. Physicists hope those collisions will help them understand suspected phenomena ...

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 ...

On March 30th, humanity is scheduled to start running the biggest, baddest particle collider ever constructed, the one that makes its closest competitor, Fermi’s Tevatron, so out-of-date that the ...

Five is a crowd Physicists have shown how interactions between five atoms can create a tetramer and a single free atom. (Courtesy: Shutterstock) Five-body recombination, in which five identical atoms ...
