As the name suggests, particle accelerators involve accelerating subatomic particles to incredibly high speeds and smashing them into tiny targets.

A lot of the science from our accelerators is published long after collisions end, so storing experimental data for future ...

In a recent experiment, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN produced particles believed to have only existed in the ...

After a decade of construction, the new-and-improved super Pioneering High Energy Nuclear Interaction eXperiment (sPHENIX) is officially ready for science as it passes a key “standard candle” ...

The key test passed by sPHENIX to prove it is ready to measure the properties of quark-gluon plasma is called a "standard ...

The nine Boston University professors involved in the Large Hadron Collider – the world’s largest particle accelerator – said they are looking forward to understanding some of the universe’s most ...

Scientists are exploring the bold concept of building a super-collider around the Moon, an idea that could revolutionise our understanding of particle physics and the cosmos. Similar to the Large ...

The ALICE Collaboration is a winner of the 2025 Gizmodo Science Fair for transforming lead into gold for a fraction of a ...

It might not be the legendary Higgs boson, but scientists at the world's largest particle accelerator have just discovered something else very interesting indeed. While on the hunt for the ...

Knowable Magazine reports that neutrinos may help explain the universe's missing antimatter, shedding light on ...

In the face of eye-watering costs, long construction times and the Trump administration's slashing of federal science funding, physicists have proposed a cheaper alternative to the next-generation of ...

Matter and antimatter are like mirror opposites: except for their electric charge, they are the same in every respect. Well, almost the same—very occasionally matter and antimatter behave differently ...
