Smashing uranium-238 ions together proves to be a reliable way of imaging their nuclei. High-energy collision experiments reveal nuclear shapes that are strongly elongated and have no symmetry around ...

Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)—a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility for nuclear ...

On Friday, November 18, a test using collisions of lead ions was carried out in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and provided an opportunity for the experiments to validate the new detectors and new ...

Muons are getting a move on. In a step toward new types of particle physics experiments, scientists cooled and then accelerated a beam of muons. The subatomic particles, heavy cousins of electrons, ...

Excitement is building among high-energy physicists as construction in Europe of a huge new particle accelerator nears completion, with the first experiments scheduled for next year. It will be the ...

When the first ball is lifted and released, it collides with the row of stationary balls. All its momentum and energy are transferred through the balls to the last ball on the row. If you lift and ...

The advent of smartphone technology has revolutionised physics education by transforming everyday devices into versatile and accessible scientific instruments. These experiments utilise the embedded ...
