A team of scientists has devised a machine learning algorithm that calculates, with low computational time, how the ATLAS detector in the Large Hadron Collider would respond to the ten times more data ...

Emerging from the collision: a snapshot from the simulation at γ = 10, showing the two colliding particles forming a black hole. (Courtesy: Phys. Rev. Lett.) New simulations of head-on collisions of ...

Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The ...

Physicists have started running the world's largest particle accelerator at a new record energy and taking the first data from these ultra-powerful collisions. Protons zoom around the 17 mile (27 ...

Subatomic particles such as quarks can pair up when linked by ‘strings’ of force fields — and release energy when the strings are pulled to the point of breaking. Two teams of physicists have now used ...
