For the first time, scientists have watched high‑energy cosmic rays at work deep inside a thick cloud of gas, not just at its ...
Scientists say an ultra-powerful neutrino once thought impossible may be explained by an exotic black hole model involving a so-called “dark charge.” ...
Before the RHIC shut down, it was the only operational particle collider in the U.S. and one of two heavy-ion colliders in the world, the other being the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland.
For a mere moment after the Big Bang, no neutrons or protons are thought to have existed. These neutral and positively charged particles, respectively, make up the center of all atoms today. But ...
In November, Quanta magazine published a feature on the detection of “magic” top quarks at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This magic, they explained, is part of an interesting shift happening at ...
In 2023, Earth was struck by a subatomic particle so energetic that, on paper, it should not exist. The neutrino, calculated ...
A supercharged neutrino that smashed into our planet in 2023 may have been spit out by an exploding primordial black hole ...
The last collisions at RHIC took place on February 6, 2026. The particle accelerator provided insights into Big Bang matter ...
Trillions of neutrinos—nearly massless, neutrally charged particles—pass through us every second, but we only acknowledge ...
"If our hypothesized dark charge is true, then we believe there could be a significant population of primordial black holes, ...
Scientists suggests that a primordial black hole's death could be behind a mystery high-energy neutrino that crashed into Earth.
Computer-generated footage shows two of the sleek crafts tearing through the skies and taking down enemy aircraft. A 1:1 ...
