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 ...
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 ...
Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same uncomfortable conclusion: something is producing signals that the Standard Model of ...
The Large Hadron Collider may soon uncover the secrets of dark photons. Should we be scared? (Spoiler: no). Back in the summer of 2022, TikTok lost its mind over news that the Large Hadron Collider — ...
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 ...
A suspended apparatus used to minimize friction during the experiment. The heavier brass cylinder and lighter ping-pong ball collide repeatedly against the transparent wall, reproducing 31 collisions ...
When fundamental particles are heavier or lighter than expected, physicists' understanding of the universe can tip into the ...
Collision physics is a research area within atomic, molecular, and optical physics that investigates the fundamental processes occurring when particles such as atoms, ions, electrons, or molecules ...
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 ...
