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

China's Circular Electron Positron Collider was meant to pick up where the Large Hadron Collider left off, but the project ...

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 ...

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

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

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

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

The Large Hadron Collider will be shut down, paving the way for a major upgrade, and perhaps its eventual, even bigger ...

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 ...

The Large Hadron Collider is entering a rare quiet spell, with its proton collisions halted so engineers can prepare the ...
