So far, the LHC has been spending its time ramming protons together, leaving Brookhaven's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) the king of the hill when it comes to smashing larger atomic nuclei.

Understanding why we live in a matter-dominated universe demands that scientists recreate the quark-gluon plasma that existed one millionth of a second after the Big Bang. A Large Ion Collider ...

Neutrinos are very common fundamental particles included in the Standard Model of particle physics. Measuring their ...

Nanosized magnetic particles called skyrmions are considered highly promising candidates for new data storage and information technologies. Now, physicists have revealed new behaviour involving the ...

Every fundamental particle in the universe has an antiparticle, which has the same mass but the opposite charge. If a particle should ever meet its antiparticle, the two would annihilate each other in ...

Scientists have been trying already for years to resolve the issue whether dark matter really exists, and if so what are properties of its constituent particles. Physicists expected that results of ...

Inside materials, the interactions between groups of electrons and atoms in the crystal lattice can give rise to a variety of interesting phenomena. Their collective behavior, especially at low ...

Computer simulations reveal new behavior of antiskyrmions in gradually increased electric currents. Nanosized magnetic particles called skyrmions are considered highly promising candidates for new ...
