At ultracold temperatures, interatomic collisions are relatively simple, and their outcome can be controlled using a magnetic field. However, research by scientists led by Prof. Michal Tomza from the ...

The famous particle accelerator has gone silent, but its next chapter could usher in a new era of particle physics.

Heavy collisions Artist’s impression charged particle tracks streaming from a collision of two uranium nuclei overlaid on a sketch of the STAR detector at RHIC. The incoming uranium nuclei are shown ...

When two black holes slam together, they do not simply vanish into darkness, they ring like struck bells and briefly light up the universe in ripples of gravity. For the first time, a handful of ...

FRANKFURT. For the moment, the accelerators at CERN are at rest during the "second long shutdown". During this time, the accelerators undergo upgrades and refurbishments so that more particles can be ...

Ideas of high-energy particle physics have been borrowed for a device that might bring insight into fundamental questions of chemical physics — the molecular synchrotron. A whole number of ...
