Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same ...
They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...
The era of smashing two watermelons together at Brookhaven National Laboratory has ended. After 25 years of accelerating streams of ions into each other at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), ...
After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.
A supercharged neutrino that smashed into our planet in 2023 may have been spit out by an exploding primordial black hole ...
Dark matter doesn’t seem to interact with the matter we can see and touch, so scientists look for it in unusual places, like ...
The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider , the largest particle collider in the United States, collided its last particles in early February. RHIC is a massive accelerator ring and set ...
When the universe first burst into being, all of space was a cosmic cauldron filled with a roiling, fiery liquid of ...
After 25 years, Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider—the U.S.’s largest particle collider—has ...
In 2023, physicists detected something that should not have existed: a single subatomic particle called a neutrino carrying an almost unimaginable amount of energy. This particle slammed into Earth ...
The famed collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory has ended operations, but if all goes to plan, a new collider will rise ...
This presentation by Fermilab archivist Valerie J. Higgins will give participants a brief overview of the lab’s fascinating history from its founding in 1967 to the present day.
