Many New Englanders will make plans to wake up (or stay up!) to try and catch a glimpse of the dazzling Northern Lights that are set to make an appearance this weekend, starting late tonight. There’s ...

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

The collision of two neutron stars around 130 million light-years from Earth, and the unique physics this merger created, may have shed new light on dark matter. Axions have never been directly ...

The principle of reconstructing the tracks of secondary particles based on hits recorded during collisions inside the MUonE detector. Subsequent targets are marked in gold, and silicon detector layers ...

A new computational analysis supports the idea that photons (a.k.a. particles of light) colliding with heavy ions can create a fluid of 'strongly interacting' particles. In a new paper, they show that ...

Neutron star mergers are a treasure trove for new physics signals, with implications for determining the true nature of dark matter, according to physicists. Neutron star mergers are a treasure trove ...

Deep beneath the serene landscape straddling the border of France and Switzerland, a marvel of modern science and engineering lies in wait. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, a massive particle ...

Particles colliding in accelerators produce numerous cascades of secondary particles. The electronics processing the signals avalanching in from the detectors then have a fraction of a second in which ...
