Mathematicians and physicists have noticed a strange coincidence occurring between their respective fields: the values computed from particle physics experiments seem to correspond with a specific set ...

In a paper in Nature, the ALICE Collaboration 1 reports that data from high-energy collisions between protons can be used to investigate the little-understood nuclear forces between protons and ...

Deep underground amidst the Alps, scientists are barely able to contain their excitement. They whisper about discoveries that would radically alter our understanding of the Universe. "I've been ...

The hunt for new physics is back on. The world’s most powerful machine for smashing high-energy particles together, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), has fired up after a shutdown of more than three ...

Sensory overload: simulation of a proton-proton collision at the Large Hadron Collider. (Courtesy: CERN) Deep learning could hold the key to making sense of proton collisions generated in the world’s ...

The CMS collaboration at CERN have searched for evidence of long-lived particles beyond the Standard Model in proton-proton collision events Despite the huge success of the Standard Model of particle ...

Scientists ran a comprehensive analysis of data from collisions of heavy ions (the nuclei of atoms) to determine which factors most influence fluctuations in the flow of particles. They found that the ...

Collide light with light, and poof, you get matter and antimatter. It sounds like a simple idea, but it turns out to be surprisingly hard to prove. A team of physicists is now claiming the first ...

Cross two flashlight beams and they pass right through one another. That’s because particles of light, or photons, are mostly antisocial — they don’t interact with each other. But now scientists have ...
