The European physics laboratory CERN is planning to build a mega collider by 2070. Critics say the plan could lead to its ...

For the first time, scientists have directly measured a weak r-process reaction using a radioactive ion beam, shedding light ...

Researchers discover collisionless shock waves as cosmic engines accelerating subatomic particles in space to extreme speeds.

Try to fathom the power of 1 million nuclear power plants. Now, imagine there is a way to pack the equivalent of that into ...

Immense detectors surround the areas where inconceivably small particles slam into one another at super-high energies, collisions that may confirm Arkani-Hamed's predictions about undiscovered ...

"We would like to understand the difference between these systems, which holds the clue to understand just how many cosmic rays are produced in the jets of microquasars." ...

Described in a paper published in Physical Review Letters, this achievement addresses one of the grand challenges of particle accelerator and beam physics and opens the door for new discoveries in a ...

Scientists have developed organic semiconductors that produce circularly polarized light and potentially improve current ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study, led by the ...
