Researchers have uncovered a counterintuitive phenomenon in collision dynamics: high-speed particles bounce back from wet walls much more strongly than expected. Integrating experimental observations ...

Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy collisions produce a shower of subatomic fragments that scientists ...

Physicists may have uncovered a surprising new clue that string theory—the idea that the universe is built from unimaginably tiny vibrating strings—could be more than just a mathematical fantasy.

Antimatter particles detected on the International Space Station (ISS) may be evidence for unknown physics, new research suggests. The particles, antimatter versions of helium nuclei, may have been ...

Scientists working on CERN’s ALICE experiment have reported the first observation of a distinctive flow pattern among quarks in proton-proton collisions, a signal long associated with quark-gluon ...
