A big part of physics is understanding collisions and how they're not all the same.

Anyons – the particle-like collective excitations that can exist in some 2D materials – tend to bunch together in a two-dimensional conductor. This behaviour, which has now been observed by physicists ...

In recent years, however, the atomic-physics community has aspired to much more: we want to prepare a target of non-interacting atoms or molecules in a particular quantum state, strike it with ...

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 ...

Learn how to understand and model collisions including explosions in terms of momentum, velocities and the forces involved for Higher Physics.

By exploring positive geometry, mathematicians are revealing hidden shapes that may unify particle physics and cosmology, offering new ways to understand both collisions in accelerators and the ...
