The photograph, titled “Underwater Hunting,” was a finalist for the 2025 Global Physics Photowalk. The competition, held ...

At Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has powered down for the last time, ending operations at the only particle collider still running in the United ...

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.

After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.

Keeping high-power particle accelerators at peak performance requires advanced and precise control systems. For example, the primary research machine at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas ...

A supercharged neutrino that smashed into our planet in 2023 may have been spit out by an exploding primordial black hole ...

When the universe first burst into being, all of space was a cosmic cauldron filled with a roiling, fiery liquid of ...

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 ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a novel artificial ...

Particle physics is a branch of physics that studies the elementary constituents of matter and radiation, and the interactions between them. It is also called "high energy physics", because many ...

OpenAI's GPT-5.2 derived a new formula for gluon interactions, overturning assumptions of zero amplitude and advancing theoretical physics.
