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 most direct probe of λ3 comes from Higgs-boson pair production (HH). HH production happens most often by the fusion of ...

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 ...

Inside the Large Hadron Collider, protons slam together at nearly the speed of light, creating a brief fireball of quarks and ...

Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...

When matter collides with antimatter, both vanish in a powerful energy burst. Scientists explain who truly wins this cosmic ...
