Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same ...
It's the second most energetic cosmic ray ever to be detected striking Earth.
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 ...
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.
Scientists say an ultra-powerful neutrino once thought impossible may be explained by an exotic black hole model involving a so-called “dark charge.” ...
At CERN’s Large Hadron Collider on the edge of Geneva, scientists have reported a surprising twist in the behavior of matter.
The discovery of the Higgs boson hasn’t led to a explosion of new physics. Now, some scientists think that hidden physics may ...
In 2023, Earth was struck by a subatomic particle so energetic that, on paper, it should not exist. The neutrino, calculated ...
A supercharged neutrino that smashed into our planet in 2023 may have been spit out by an exploding primordial black hole ...
Scientists believe that studying these explosions can help understand where such powerful neutrinos came from and can also provide new information in understanding the mystery of dark matter.
The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider , the largest particle collider in the United States, collided its last particles in early February. RHIC is a massive accelerator ring and set ...
A single subatomic particle that hit Earth in 2023 carried roughly 100,000 times more energy than anything humanity has ever ...
