Scientists have found new evidence that a pattern of “flow” observed in particles streaming ...

All experiments broke records in the final full operating year of the third run of the LHC. All four LHC experiments performed extremely well throughout the 2025 proton run, detecting more collisions ...

Inside the Large Hadron Collider, protons slam together at nearly the speed of light, creating a brief fireball of quarks and gluons that looks, at first glance, like pure chaos. New work from CERN ...

Suppression of a telltale sign of quark-gluon interactions indicates gluon recombination in dense walls of gluons. Previous experiments have shown that when ions are accelerated to high energies, ...

UPTON, NY—Given the choice of three different “spin” orientations, certain particles emerging from collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), an atom smasher at the U.S. Department of ...

Black holes remain one of the most enigmatic objects in the cosmos, offering profound insights into the nature of gravity and spacetime. Research on particle collisions in the intense gravitational ...

A black hole is more than just a region of space where nothing escapes. It can also become a powerful cosmic engine. When matter spirals inward, falling into its grasp, the black hole doesn't just ...

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 ...

Once a surprise to physicists, these particles are useful tools inside and outside the realm of particle physics.

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 ...
