Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in physics: string theory. This rare particle—never seen before and predicted not ...

On June 11, the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine announced the result of a three-year study to set a ...

Computer simulations of high-energy particles are pushing the boundaries of what we can learn about the interactions that happen inside particle colliders ...

As a result, the U.S. Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel, which helps shape national research funding decisions, recommended further investigation into wakefield acceleration as a ...

More than a decade following the discovery of the Higgs boson at the CERN particle-physics lab near Geneva in 2012, high-energy physics stands at a crossroads. While the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) gets a breath of fresh air as it collides beams of protons and oxygen ions for the very first ...

Like CERN’s Large Hadron Collider—which is a huge particle collider with experiments set up around its circumference—RHIC has several experiments that draw data from its collisions.

Costly collider. Although most particle physicists agree that both FCC machines would be good to have, the costs are daunting. No full costing is yet available; ...

To unlock the secrets of dark matter, scientists could turn to supermassive black holes and their ability to act as natural superpowered particle colliders. That's according to new research that ...
