The world’s largest atom smasher has conducted its first-ever collisions between protons and oxygen ions, as part of an ...

As particle accelerator technology moves into the high-luminosity era, the need for extreme precision and unprecedented collision energy keeps growing. Given also the Laboratory's desire to reduce ...

Currently, the distinction of the most powerful particle accelerator in the world belongs to CERN's Large Hadron Collider, or LHC. The LHC accelerates protons – which CERN said reach an energy ...

While gluons are responsible for generating most of the visible mass in the universe, their role inside nuclei remains poorly ...

The world's largest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider, is back in action after a three-year break for maintenance and an upgrade with more energy, higher intensity beams and greater ...

In 2011 the UPV/EHU's QUTIS Group published in the Physical Review Letters an innovative theoretical proposal to reproduce particle collisions like those taking place in large accelerators but without ...

The ALICE experiment measures heavy-ion collisions (and their aftermath) with the world’s longest particle accelerator, hosted at CERN. Wladyslaw Henryk Trzaska / CERN At this point, the list of ...

Stock image of particle collision in Large Hadron Collider. TAU Systems are developing a compact plasma accelerator much smaller than the LHC.

The findings suggest black holes could provide a cheaper, natural alternative to billion-dollar particle colliders, if we can figure out how to harness them.

Just last week it reached a new milestone — the particle accelerator is now smashing unprecedented numbers of protons into each other during each collision. IE 11 is not supported.

The machine behind the ‘God particle’ is on the hunt for dark matter Researchers at CERN are firing up the Large Hadron Collider for the third time, hoping to make another historic discovery ...

Particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider have failed to turn up potential dark matter candidates, but could galaxy cluster smashes be used as cosmic dark matter colliders?
