The key test passed by sPHENIX to prove it is ready to measure the properties of quark-gluon plasma is called a "standard ...

An innovative algorithm for detecting collisions of high-speed particles within nuclear fusion reactors has been developed, inspired by technologies used to determine whether bullets hit targets in ...

Black holes remain one of the most enigmatic objects in the cosmos, offering profound insights into the nature of gravity and spacetime. Research on particle collisions in the intense gravitational ...

A new specialized, radiation-hardened chip has been designed for CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) upgrade. Engineers at Columbia University have developed this analog-to-digital converter (ADC) chip ...

Large-scale particle physics laboratories around the world have huge accelerators with a circumference of up to 27 km, as in the case of CERN (Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire).

In a never-before-seen particle, four quarks of a feather flock together. Physicists think they have detected the first conglomerate of four quarks incorporating more than two of the same kind. This ...

Highly motivated students will assist in novel research into the statistics of aerosols in a unique flow-chamber through experiments using state-of-the-art high-speed lasers, high-speed tomography, ...

A new particle detector has passed a crucial test that shows it is ready to detect the "ashes" left over from a unique primordial soup that filled the universe immediately after the Big Bang. The ...
