In 1929, Ernest Orlando Lawrence invented the cyclotron: a compact, efficient particle accelerator that used magnets. Two ...

Over the past 15 years, the ALICE Collaboration has investigated the so-called strangeness enhancement, typically quantified via the ratio of strange-hadron to pion yields. When measured as a function ...

The European Strategy Group tasked a working group to compare seven proposals for CERN’s next large-scale collider.

The ALICE collaboration has performed one of the most precise studies of strange-to-non-strange hadron production to date at ...

ALICE collaboration identifies three-phase process that allows particles to form despite energetically unfavourable ...

One of the world's most sophisticated scientific facilities is turning to ultra-low temperatures to try and unravel hidden ...

This new NASA Hubble Space Telescope image captures a jet of gas from a forming star shooting across the dark expanse. The ...

Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...

For centuries, the principle of symmetry has guided physicists towards more fundamental truths, but now a slew of shocking ...
