Particle accelerators, also known as particle colliders or atom smashers, have been responsible for some of the most exciting physics findings over the past century, including the discovery of the ...

With a specialised telescope in Namibia a DESY-led team of researchers has proven a certain type of binary star as a new kind of source for very high-energy cosmic gamma-radiation. Eta Carinae is ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Often in physics, if you want to investigate the very small, you need to build something very big. The most famous example—the Large Hadron ...

Researchers at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland have announced that they discovered a new subatomic particle. Roughly four times more massive than a standard proton, this short-lived piece of ...

The Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB accelerator measures particle interactions with extreme precision. Collisions of electron and positron beams create the high-energy environment needed to ...

A new particle collider that will surpass the Large Hadron Collider is being developed. It is scheduled to search for particles that will solve the mysteries of the universe beyond the Higgs boson in ...
