I peeked in on the house-sized particle detector known as STAR just after it took its last-ever snapshot of one of the most extreme types of fireball ever created. Inside, the conditions just after ...

When the universe first burst into being, all of space was a cosmic cauldron filled with a roiling, fiery liquid of fundamental particles heated to trillions of degrees. But this seething primordial ...

The Large Hadron Collider is going to be shut down — not permanently, but for a pretty long time — and the famous atom smasher’s eventual final retirement is also something that top scientists are now ...

In collisions at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, hotter than the Sun’s core by a staggering margin, scientists have finally solved a long-standing mystery: how delicate particles like deuterons and ...

Tech billionaires have pledged as much as €860 million ($1 billion) to help fund CERN’s Future Circular Collider, the next-generation particle collider and the successor to the Large Hadron Collider, ...

Get cozy with Collider’s week of exclusive reveals across film and TV. Back in 2021, Hannah’s love of all things nerdy collided with her passion for writing — and she hasn’t stopped since. She covers ...

Hypothetical particles called axions have been sought by physicists for decades, as they are the leading candidate for what makes up dark matter. But we may not need new experiments to find exotic ...

At a time of high anxiety around technology’s impact on arts and culture, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts’ Collider Fellowship is focused on new opportunities, welcoming multidisciplinary ...

After a decade of construction, the new-and-improved super Pioneering High Energy Nuclear Interaction eXperiment (sPHENIX) is officially ready for science as it passes a key “standard candle” ...

Sam Haft talks about writing songs for legends like Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump, Keith David, Jessica Vosk and more on Collider Forces! You're breaking my heart, Milchick! Samuel Blenkin and Alex ...
