Physics at the smallest scales is a challenge of observation: Particles are often fleeting, and the forces that govern their behavior are nearly imperceptible. But now, by exploiting decades-old data ...

Inside the most powerful particle colliders on Earth, protons slam together at nearly the speed of light, shredding matter ...

Protons, the positively charged particles that help build every atom in our bodies, are starting to look less like classical billiard balls and more like quantum actors. A growing body of research now ...

Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...

ALICE collaboration identifies three-phase process that allows particles to form despite energetically unfavourable ...
