Inside high-energy proton collisions, quarks and gluons briefly form a dense, boiling state before cooling into ordinary ...

High energy proton collisions can be pictured as a roiling sea of quarks and gluons, including short lived virtual particles. At first glance, this ...

The most precise calculations yet of how two quarks locked in a bound state annihilate have been achieved using lattice quantum chromodynamics — and signal a curious discrepancy. Figure 1: CP ...

CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will fire up again this month, with its three detectors, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb, poised to begin close monitoring of the proton–proton collisions in pursuit of such ...

Two huge metal rings, each more than two miles around. Gold ions smashing together at more than 99.99 percent the speed of light. House-size machines with masses of neon green wires. Inside this set ...

In his final media availability before hunkering down for launch prep, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen stopped by our studio for a conversation about how he’ll spend his days on the ...
