The discovery itself is simple and fundamental, but the applications stretch far and wide into astrophysics and quantum ...

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

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 ...

Inside the collider, superconducting magnets are chilled to roughly minues-456 degrees Fahrenheit — colder than space — while two particle beams traveling close to the speed of light are made ...

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

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

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 ...

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; ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) remains one of the pinnacles of scientific and technological innovation, but physicists believe there’s room for improvement. And after years of research and ...

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.

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 ...
