A team of physicists used ChatGPT to help crack a long-standing problem in quantum field theory, producing a new closed-form ...

British physicist Martin Rees has suggested that CERN’s Large Hadron Collider could potentially destroy Earth. However, this ...

The U.S. Department of Energy is betting $40 million that particle accelerators can crack one of nuclear power’s oldest problems: what to do with spent fuel that stays dangerously radioactive for ...

The field of particle physics is approaching a critical horizon defined by challenges including unprecedented data volumes and detector complexity. Upcoming ...

Five scientists from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have received Early Career Research Program (ECRP) awards from the ...

Before the RHIC shut down, it was the only operational particle collider in the U.S. and one of two heavy-ion colliders in the world, the other being the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland.

Scientists say an ultra-powerful neutrino once thought impossible may be explained by an exotic black hole model involving a so-called “dark charge.” ...

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 ...

After 25 years of experiments recreating early-universe matter, Brookhaven's RHIC has completed its final particle collisions ...

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

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 ...
