Experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider reveal how surprisingly fragile atomic nuclei can emerge from extreme particle collisions that briefly recreate conditions hotter than the Sun’s core. The ...

All experiments broke records in the final full operating year of the third run of the LHC. All four LHC experiments performed extremely well throughout the 2025 proton run, detecting more collisions ...

"Learn how to simulate elastic collisions using Python in this hands-on physics tutorial! In this video, we’ll walk through the code to model collisions between two objects, showing how to apply the ...

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 ...

Big science requires long-term planning. In June, the US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine published an unprecedented 40-year strategy for US particle physics titled Elementary ...

When using the particle_motion_collision component, the missing property "radius" is flagged as an error. This property should correctly be named "collision_radius".

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking 'Hybrid Supraparticle Synthesis Technology' that attaches inorganic nanoparticles to the surface of polymer microparticles through simple mechanical ...

All the magnets and other components of the High-Luminosity LHC test stand are in place.Florence Thompson/CERN Engineers at CERN are closing in on the completion of a crucial test facility for the ...

Elementary particle physics reflects the human quest to understand the basic building blocks of nature and the rules that govern the physical world. This quest has led not only to critical scientific ...

Subatomic particles such as quarks can pair up when linked by ‘strings’ of force fields — and release energy when the strings are pulled to the point of breaking. Two teams of physicists have now used ...
