Collision physics is a research area within atomic, molecular, and optical physics that investigates the fundamental processes occurring when particles such as atoms, ions, electrons, or molecules ...

Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy collisions produce a shower of subatomic fragments that scientists ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

Researchers have uncovered a counterintuitive phenomenon in collision dynamics: high-speed particles bounce back from wet ...

Scientists working on CERN’s ALICE experiment have reported the first observation of a distinctive flow pattern among quarks in proton-proton collisions, a signal long associated with quark-gluon ...

Antimatter particles detected on the International Space Station (ISS) may be evidence for unknown physics, new research suggests. The particles, antimatter versions of helium nuclei, may have been ...

The researchers have been working at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland on the ATLAS project. A visualization of a proton-proton collision in the ATLAS detector ...
