An MIT-led team has found that data from “near-misses” at the Large Hadron Collider, long dismissed as background noise, can ...

The ATLAS Experiment at CERN has made two years' worth of scientific data available to the public for research purposes. The data include recordings of proton–proton collisions from the Large Hadron ...

Check out our hands-on review to see just how educational, and just how fun, Lego's educational space sets really are.

Explore collision physics by learning how to determine elasticity in train car crashes! This video breaks down the concepts of elastic and inelastic collisions, momentum conservation, and energy ...

In the universe's earliest moments, particles existed in an unimaginably hot plasma, whose behaviour was governed by deeply complex webs of interaction between individual particles. Today, researchers ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sometimes, two dimensions are better than three. In the three-dimensional world we live in, there are two classes of elementary particles: bosons and fermions. But in two dimensions, theoretical ...

Collision prevention (left to right): Kyla Remillard, Fernando Hueso-González and David Craft are three of the four researchers who developed the radiotherapy collision assessment tool. (Courtesy: ...
