Inside high-energy proton collisions, quarks and gluons briefly form a dense, boiling state before cooling into ordinary ...

Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...

ALICE collaboration identifies three-phase process that allows particles to form despite energetically unfavourable ...

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

Physicists have built a quantum gas that behaves nothing like the substances we are used to, and that is exactly why it is causing such excitement. Instead of slowing down when particles collide, this ...

Superconducting magnets inside the tunnel of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science user facility for nuclear research at Brookhaven National ...

Firing particles at each other at 99.99% of the speed of light, the LHC is back in the race to discover new physics. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

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 ...
