Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The ...

CERN team discovers heavy proton, advancing understanding of strong force LHCb spots ultra-brief, charm-rich baryon that ...

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A powerful new particle accelerator that could be set up at Fermilab, a telescope to observe the oldest light in the universe, and research to learn more about mysteries such as dark ...

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...

Scientists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have for the first time observed a fundamental asymmetry in the behavior of baryons, the particles that form the bulk of all visible matter. The ...

A particle accelerator that produces intense X-rays could be squeezed into a device that fits on a table, my colleagues and I have found in a new research project. The way that intense X-rays are ...

In 2023, a subatomic particle called a neutrino crashed into Earth with such a high amount of energy that it should have been impossible. In fact, there are no known sources anywhere in the universe ...
