In July 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe triumphantly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-sought linchpin of the subatomic world. Interacting with Higgs ...

“Amaterasu” is the second most energetic cosmic astroparticle ever recorded (discovered in 2021 by the Telescope Array). *Current analyses show that the particle could originate from a nearby galaxy.

I peeked in on the house-sized particle detector known as STAR just after it took its last-ever snapshot of one of the most extreme types of fireball ever created. Inside, the conditions just after ...

The field of particle physics is approaching a critical horizon defined by challenges including unprecedented data volumes and detector complexity. Upcoming ...

Scientists have long seen a puzzling pattern in tokamaks, the doughnut-shaped machines that could one day reliably generate electricity from fusing atoms. When plasma particles escape the core of the ...

Curious Kids is a series for children of all ages. If you have a question you’d like an expert to answer, send it to [email protected]. Is the whole universe just a simulation?

Just after 9 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, final beams of oxygen ions—oxygen atoms stripped of their electrons—circulated through the twin 2.4-mile-circumference rings of the Relativistic Heavy Ion ...

February 3, 2026: We're hunting for new Arm Wrestle Simulator codes for the post-Alien Gate update. What are the new Arm Wrestle Simulator codes? This popular Roblox experience channels the simulator ...
