Does gravity act equally on all particles in the universe, or are there differences between ordinary and exotic matter? Physics professor Anna Soter and her team at ETH Zurich and the Paul Scherrer ...

Using a particle accelerator, an NYU professor partnered with an international team of researchers in Switzerland to recreate ...

Scientists have used ultracold atoms to successfully demonstrate a novel method of particle acceleration that could unlock a new understanding of how cosmic rays behave, a new study reveals. More than ...

Astronomers have uncovered new details about a powerful pulsar wind nebula hidden inside the CTA 1 supernova remnant, revealing a compact structure capable of accelerating particles to extreme ...

The National Science Foundation has awarded a round of funding toward a total of $13.7 million to advance the development of the world’s most powerful laser into its final design phase. The NSF ...

The European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, will dismantle the Large Hadron Collider, which helped discover the ...

In 2016, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) approved the high-luminosity large hadron collider (HL-LHC) upgrade project. LHC is currently the largest and most powerful particle ...

Atoms will reveal their secrets—you just need enough speed to coerce them. Scientists have known this since at least the 1920s, when they first started firing particles at nuclei via large tubes ...

A multimillion-dollar government project is betting that particle accelerators can "burn" through the world's most dangerous ...

Solar flares are among the most violent explosions in the solar system. But despite their immense energy -- equivalent to a hundred billion atomic bombs detonating at once -- physicists still haven't ...
