Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy collisions produce a shower of subatomic fragments that scientists ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is in the business of discovering new subatomic particles—and business is good. The team at CERN recently announced the discovery of a new particle, named Ξcc⁺ or Xi-cc ...

Using high-intensity lasers, researchers have taken an important step toward miniaturization of particle accelerators by demonstrating free-electron laser amplification at extreme ultraviolet ...

In a world of information overload, it can feel soothing to stick your head in the sand. Don’t want to hear what the doctor might say? It’s easy not to make a follow-up appointment. Did a favorite ...

A pair of rare particles produced in high-energy proton collisions may be the clearest evidence yet that mass can emerge from empty space. The finding could shed light on one of the biggest puzzles in ...

Crimson Desert is in some ways incredibly impressive, especially visually. The game's world has some gorgeous landscapes, first realized when Kliff crosses the bridge on horseback in the opening hour ...

"This is the first time we have observed, for a large interval in momentum and for multiple species, this flow pattern in a subset of proton collisions in which an unusually large number of particles ...

It heckin' wimdy.

Neutrino particles have extremely small masses, yet there are so many of them that they carve out the large-scale structure of the entire universe. Scientists are getting close to figuring out how.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is in the business of discovering new subatomic particles—and business is good. The team at CERN recently announced ...
