To unlock the secrets of dark matter, scientists could turn to supermassive black holes and their ability to act as natural superpowered particle colliders. That's according to new research that found ...

At the world’s most powerful colliders, physicists are finally catching sight of particles that almost never leave a trace, a “ghost” signal that has haunted theory for decades. The detection of these ...

New experimental results show particles called muons can be corralled into beams suitable for high-energy collisions, paving the way for new physics. New experimental results show particles called ...

CERN, or the European Organization for Nuclear Research, restarted its Large Hadron Collider after a regular winter stop for maintenance. CERN is not reactivating the accelerator in connection with ...

From mysterious dark matter to the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei, the past 12 months have reiterated just how strange particle physics can be. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Texas A&M University professor Peter McIntyre and his colleagues want to build a particle accelerator around the rim of the Gulf of Mexico in order to discover the most fundamental building blocks of ...

Researechers are testing superconducting microwire single-photon detectors (SMSPDs) for use in future particle physics exepriments. The detectors, which were designed and fabricated at JPL and ...
