For the first time, by studying quantum correlations between triplets of secondary particles created during high-energy ...

In a paper in Nature, the ALICE Collaboration 1 reports that data from high-energy collisions between protons can be used to investigate the little-understood nuclear forces between protons and ...

Laser cooling and trapping allow physicists to map the dynamics of every ion-atom encounter in a collision experiment. For many years atomic-collision experiments basically involved measuring the ...

At ultracold temperatures, interatomic collisions are relatively simple, and their outcome can be controlled using a magnetic field. However, research by scientists led by Prof. Michal Tomza from the ...

Segment 4C: Collisions We differentiate between elastic and inelastic collisions Segment 4C: Collisions In this segment, we differentiate between elastic and inelastic collisions. The conservation of ...

Two weeks ago, NASA smashed a spacecraft into a small asteroid called Dimorphos, which orbits a larger rock, Didymos. The mission is formally named the Double Asteroid Redirection Test, but you might ...

Rubidium atoms can behave unpredictably during atomic collisions, especially when exposed to specific laser light. Researchers have now discovered that these tiny interactions can release unexpected ...

When supermassive black holes recoil from a collision, they can reach speeds of up to 1/10th the speed of light, new research suggests. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

A new biography of Luis Alvarez captures the details but misses the drama in the career of a scientist whose work ranged from the Manhattan Project to the death of the dinosaurs. By Jennifer Szalai ...
