For more than a decade, physicists in the United States have been chasing what came to be known as a “ghost particle” — the sterile neutrino. It was a hypothetical addition to the Standard Model of ...

All experiments broke records in the final full operating year of the third run of the LHC. All four LHC experiments performed extremely well throughout the 2025 proton run, detecting more collisions ...

"Learn how to simulate elastic collisions using Python in this hands-on physics tutorial! In this video, we’ll walk through the code to model collisions between two objects, showing how to apply the ...

The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact. Now, a young ...

As the name suggests, particle accelerators involve accelerating subatomic particles to incredibly high speeds and smashing them into tiny targets. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

"You never see the Quark Gluon Plasma itself — you just see its ashes." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. A new particle detector ...

We know very little about the first few microseconds after the Big Bang. We have theories, most of which we’re still double- and triple-checking to see if they actually make scientific sense. The ...

An international team of physicists has studied how particles are produced in high-energy electron–proton collisions through the lens of entanglement entropy Entanglement entropy has emerged as a new ...

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking 'Hybrid Supraparticle Synthesis Technology' that attaches inorganic nanoparticles to the surface of polymer microparticles through simple mechanical ...

The Aquila magneto-optical trap in QuEra’s facilities. Subatomic particles such as quarks can pair up when linked by ‘strings’ of force fields — and release energy when the strings are pulled to the ...
