Stony Brook University physicists Gabor David and Axel Drees sketch out how a signal of jet energy loss in deuteron-gold collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) supports the case that ...

The famed collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory has ended operations, but if all goes to plan, a new collider will rise ...

Learn how physicists recreated the early universe’s primordial soup, known as quark-gluon plasma, and discovered how it responds when particles race through it.

GlueX The spectrometer at Jefferson Lab was used to study the behaviour of gluons within nuclei. (Courtesy: Jefferson Lab/Aileen Devlin) A new experiment has offered the clearest view yet of how ...

Scientists at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have found new evidence that collisions of small nuclei with large ones can create tiny specks of quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a state of matter ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

High energy particle physics investigates the fundamental constituents of matter at extremely short distances and high energies, while Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) underpins our understanding of the ...

For the first time, quarks and gluons were used to describe properties of atomic nuclei, which until now had been explained by the existence of protons and neutrons. The temporary pair of correlated ...

The BESIII experiment at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider II (BEPCII) has recently marked a significant achievement. It has made the first measurements of the quantum numbers of the X(2370) ...

Researchers have discovered that superconducting nanowire photon detectors can also be used as highly accurate particle detectors, and they have found the optimal nanowire size for high detection ...

(via PBS Space Time) All particles belong to two large groups: fermions like protons and electrons make everything we consider "matter", while bosons like photons and gluons transmit the fundamental ...
