I peeked in on the house-sized particle detector known as STAR just after it took its last-ever snapshot of one of the most extreme types of fireball ever created. Inside, the conditions just after ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of chemical reactions to producing highly reliable weather forecasts. For now, ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: It used to be thought that bizarre interactions between subatomic particles known as neutrinos could be explained by another type of neutrino. The ...

Every time two beams of particles collide inside an accelerator, the universe lets us in on a little secret. Sometimes it's a particle no one has ever seen. Other times, it's a fleeting glimpse of ...

Machines like cyclotrons and synchrotrons help scientists recreate the conditions of the Big Bang and probe the very edges of particle physics. They also tend to be very big. Now, a new study details ...

Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter candidates. Unlike axions or WIMPs, these particles carry electric charge but ...

The Particle Tachyon is a single-board computer that’s about the same size as a Raspberry Pi 5 and it even has a Raspberry Pi-compatible 40-pin GPIO header. But Particle positions the Tachyon as a ...

Since the beginning of the year, I’ve been participating in discussions about the promise and limits of agentic AI, which is generally defined as a system that enables AI to make independent analyses ...

In this interview, Prof Na Li explores the mysteries of the particle drifting effect and its practical applications in real-world scenarios. Could you explain why solubility is such a crucial factor ...

CERN’s Large Hadron Collider could eventually be succeeded by an even more ginormous physics experiment, which passed a technical review this week. The even larger project is the Future Circular ...
