Researchers have uncovered a counterintuitive phenomenon in collision dynamics: high-speed particles bounce back from wet ...

Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy collisions produce a shower of subatomic fragments that scientists ...

Frederick police Capt. Richard Hetherington still remembers the surprise that used to greet his arrival to guest lecture city high school physics classes. “I’d walk in and it was just your typical, ...

Scientists working on CERN’s ALICE experiment have reported the first observation of a distinctive flow pattern among quarks in proton-proton collisions, a signal long associated with quark-gluon ...

Antimatter particles detected on the International Space Station (ISS) may be evidence for unknown physics, new research suggests. The particles, antimatter versions of helium nuclei, may have been ...
