In this video, we break down the physics behind clay pendulum balls and their collisions. Learn about momentum, energy transfer, and how these simple systems can explain key concepts in ...

Inside high-energy proton collisions, quarks and gluons briefly form a dense, boiling state before cooling into ordinary ...

High energy proton collisions can be pictured as a roiling sea of quarks and gluons, including short lived virtual particles. At first glance, this ...

Heavy collisions Artist’s impression charged particle tracks streaming from a collision of two uranium nuclei overlaid on a sketch of the STAR detector at RHIC. The incoming uranium nuclei are shown ...

Ready to go: the Belle II experiment will run on Japan's SuperKEKB accelerator. (Courtesy: KEK) The first electron–positron collisions occurred at an upgrade to one of Japan’s premier particle-physics ...

What seemed like new planets around Fomalhaut were actually expanding dust clouds from violent planetary collisions seen by Hubble.

Mathematicians and physicists have noticed a strange coincidence occurring between their respective fields: the values computed from particle physics experiments seem to correspond with a specific set ...

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a one-dimensional “quantum wire” using a gas of ultracold atoms. In this system, both ...

It's impossible to talk about football these days without talking about the problem of big hits. The giant dramatic collisions between players moving at high speed are at once one of the great ...
