Scientists saw a quark plowing through primordial plasma for the first time, offering a rare look at the first moments after ...

This kind of ‘magic’ could lead to a computer revolution.

At CERN’s Large Hadron Collider on the edge of Geneva, scientists have reported a surprising twist in the behavior of matter.

Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same ...

A new theory suggests the universe’s greatest secrets are hiding in a “zeptouniverse” that’s ready to be explored—without ...

Something odd is happening deep inside the data streams from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. A set of “forbidden” patterns in how unstable particles decay, combined with rare Higgs events and a ...

CERN's Large Hadron Collider now heats thousands of French homes with waste heat, turning particle physics research into practical energy savings.

In a cavernous tunnel beneath the French–Swiss border, physicists have briefly recreated conditions that existed microseconds after the Big Bang and, in the process, knocked lead atoms into becoming ...

A single subatomic particle that hit Earth in 2023 carried roughly 100,000 times more energy than anything humanity has ever ...

At the world’s most powerful colliders, physicists are finally catching sight of particles that almost never leave a trace, a “ghost” signal that has haunted theory for decades. The detection of these ...

Seventeen miles of underground tunnel, thousands of superconducting magnets, and protons whipped to a fraction below light ...

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.
