Spin correlations within a particle collider may help crack one of the biggest mysteries known, said physicist Zhoudunming Tu.

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

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.

At the heart of every atomic nucleus, the strong interaction quietly dictates the structure of matter, yet for decades one of its simplest products refused to fit the script. The way fragile “light ...

Data from past proton-electron collisions provide strong evidence of entanglement among the proton's sea of quarks (spheres) and gluons (squiggles), which may play an important role in their ...

A black hole is more than just a region of space where nothing escapes. It can also become a powerful cosmic engine. When matter spirals inward, falling into its grasp, the black hole doesn't just ...

Black holes remain one of the most enigmatic objects in the cosmos, offering profound insights into the nature of gravity and spacetime. Research on particle collisions in the intense gravitational ...

A new particle detector has passed a crucial test that shows it is ready to detect the "ashes" left over from a unique primordial soup that filled the universe immediately after the Big Bang. The ...
