At ultracold temperatures, interatomic collisions are relatively simple, and their outcome can be controlled using a magnetic field. However, research by scientists led by Prof. Michal Tomza from the ...

Hot on the heels of proving an 87-year-old prediction that matter can be generated directly from light, Rice University physicists and their colleagues have detailed how that process may impact future ...

The famous particle accelerator has gone silent, but its next chapter could usher in a new era of particle physics.

Heavy collisions Artist’s impression charged particle tracks streaming from a collision of two uranium nuclei overlaid on a sketch of the STAR detector at RHIC. The incoming uranium nuclei are shown ...

Black holes are one of the most devastating objects in space, sucking up everything around them. But there’s another space ...

Today, my colleagues reported a substantial new advance in our understanding of the Higgs boson, the particle that is responsible for giving mass to fundamental subatomic particles. These results are ...

Ready to go: the Belle II experiment will run on Japan's SuperKEKB accelerator. (Courtesy: KEK) The first electron–positron collisions occurred at an upgrade to one of Japan’s premier particle-physics ...

Ideas of high-energy particle physics have been borrowed for a device that might bring insight into fundamental questions of chemical physics — the molecular synchrotron. A whole number of ...

The nuclear forces that act on short-lived subatomic particles have been hard to study. This problem has now been solved by smashing high-energy protons together and measuring the momenta of the ...
