A distant cluster of galaxies is wrapped in a vast halo of high-energy particles that could be the work of supermassive black ...

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

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 ...

In physics, there are two great pillars of thought that don't quite fit together. The Standard Model of particle physics describes all known ...

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 ...

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 ...

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; ...
