As the name suggests, particle accelerators involve accelerating subatomic particles to incredibly high speeds and smashing them into tiny targets.

A lot of the science from our accelerators is published long after collisions end, so storing experimental data for future physicists is crucial.

The key test passed by sPHENIX to prove it is ready to measure the properties of quark-gluon plasma is called a "standard candle" in particle physics. This isn't to be confused with Type 1a supernovas ...

Four Notre Dame faculty members in the College of Engineering and the College of Science were honored with National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Awards — a mark of excellence for early-career ...

Science has changed since the Nobel Prize was first awarded in 1901. Is it time to forge a new way of recognizing outstanding science?JONATHAN NACKSTRAND/AFP/Getty Images Every October, a handful of ...

The ALICE Collaboration is a winner of the 2025 Gizmodo Science Fair for transforming lead into gold for a fraction of a second and exposing the strange physics that goes on inside the Large Hadron ...

Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter candidates. Unlike axions or WIMPs, these particles carry electric charge but ...

Michio Kaku, a Harvard graduate and theoretical physicist, is renowned for his work in string theory and science communication. Born in California to ...

Facilities that make particles called B mesons may seem obscure, but they could help explain why there is more matter than antimatter and what dark matter is, says Chanda Prescod-Weinstein ...

On 1954, European nations came together to create Cern, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, marking a new era for the field of particle physics. The facility, which serves as a hub for ...

The Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics conducts cutting-edge research in the field of nuclear, particle, and astroparticle physics, as well as in developing technologies for research and their ...

Dark matter remains one of the biggest mysteries in fundamental physics. Many theoretical proposals (axions, WIMPs) and 40 years of extensive experimental searches have failed to provide any ...
