A team of physicists used ChatGPT to help crack a long-standing problem in quantum field theory, producing a new closed-form ...

The CMS Collaboration has shown, for the first time, that machine learning can be used to fully reconstruct particle ...

It is commonly assumed that tiny particles just go with the flow as they make their way through soil, biological tissue, and ...

A supercharged neutrino that smashed into our planet in 2023 may have been spit out by an exploding primordial black hole ...

After 25 years, Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider—the U.S.’s largest particle collider—has ceased operations, but its science lives on ...

In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, that distinction gets a bit murky.

"If our hypothesized dark charge is true, then we believe there could be a significant population of primordial black holes, which would be consistent with other astrophysical observations, and ...

Francesca Capel and Nadine Bourriche analyze the most energetic particle that has ever hit Earth and its possible origin in ...

Before the RHIC shut down, it was the only operational particle collider in the U.S. and one of two heavy-ion colliders in the world, the other being the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland.

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider , the largest particle collider in the United States, collided its last particles in early February. RHIC is a massive accelerator ring and set ...

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...

Tenjimbayashi and colleagues note that particle-coated droplets slipped off the substrate much more easily than did non-coated particles on a coated substrate. That’s because of differences between ...
