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 ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

At a fundamental level, what is our Universe made of? This question has driven physics forward for centuries. Even with all the advances we've made, we still don't know it all. While the Large Hadron ...

Mathematicians and physicists have noticed a strange coincidence occurring between their respective fields: the values computed from particle physics experiments seem to correspond with a specific set ...

The first data from proton–lead collisions at the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN include a “ridge” structure in correlations between newly generated ...

Large numbers of particle collision events could be analysed by placing them within “social networks” that organize events according to their degrees of similarity with each other. That is the claim ...

It is unusual for TV news to open with a story about physics, but it happened on July 4, 2012, when all around the world stations chose to devote prime time to breaking news from Geneva: a search of ...

image: Physicists has shown that it is possible to observe the wave properties of massive particles at room temperature, in practically any modern physics laboratory, because it is only necessary to ...

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 ...
