A big part of physics is understanding collisions and how they're not all the same.

Anyons – the particle-like collective excitations that can exist in some 2D materials – tend to bunch together in a two-dimensional conductor. This behaviour, which has now been observed by physicists ...

In recent years, however, the atomic-physics community has aspired to much more: we want to prepare a target of non-interacting atoms or molecules in a particular quantum state, strike it with ...

Electron-phonon interactions — collisions between charge-carrying electrons and heat-carrying vibrations in the atomic lattice of the material — are considered the primary cause of electrons slowing ...

09 December 2020 Proton collisions probe the final frontier of the standard model of particle physics The nuclear forces that act on short-lived subatomic particles have been hard to study.

A condition long considered to be unfavorable to electrical conduction in semiconductor materials may actually be beneficial in 2D semiconductors, according to new findings by UC Santa Barbara ...

Values computed from particle physics experiments seem to correspond with periods, a specific set of unusual values found in a branch of mathematics. If physicists are able to understand this ...

“If successful, the Large Hadron Collider will have busted its own world record for collision energy” The first attempt to achieve collisions at 7 teraelectronvolts – 3.5 TeV in each beam ...
