Just after 9 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, final beams of oxygen ions—oxygen atoms stripped of their electrons—circulated ...

The famed collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory has ended operations, but if all goes to plan, a new collider will rise ...

The last collisions at RHIC took place on February 6, 2026. The particle accelerator provided insights into Big Bang matter for 25 years.

Using the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider, scientists have found that the quark-gluon plasma that filled the universe just after the Big Bang really was a ...

Turning lead into gold famously used to be the goal of ancient alchemists, but their modern counterparts have actually managed the feat, though it wasn't easy.

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider , the largest particle collider in the United States, collided its last particles in early February. RHIC is a massive accelerator ring and set ...

After 25 years, Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider—the U.S.’s largest particle collider—has ...

This kind of ‘magic’ could lead to a computer revolution.

For a mere moment after the Big Bang, no neutrons or protons are thought to have existed. These neutral and positively charged particles, respectively, make up the center of all atoms today. But ...

A team of academics from Türkiye's Bursa Uludag University is making progress in research on supersymmetric particles for the Future Circular Collider, CERN’s planned next-generation particle ...
