Scientists have identified LHAASO J1912+1014u as a cosmic accelerator that can push protons beyond one quadrillion electron volts. The finding may help reveal where the Milky Way’s most energetic ...

Large-scale accelerators, such as SPring-8 in Harima Science Garden City and the giant accelerator at CERN, extend several to ...

CERN shuts down the Large Hadron Collider for four years to prepare a major upgrade that could transform particle physics.

Light-field camera particle detector PLATON — developed by ETH Zurich and EPFL — replaces millions of scintillator components ...

The world's largest particle accelerator is about to take a long break. After years of smashing protons together, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) enters a scheduled four-year shutdown. But don't be ...

How a 27-kilometre ring under the Swiss-French border learned to recreate the first moment of the universe — and why it is going dark this week, for the first time in years. Picture a small room in ...

A centuries-old experiment could help accelerate the search for new and exotic particles, including those that make up dark matter. In 1773, British scientist Henry Cavendish set up a simple ...

For years, scientists have searched for the sources of the most energetic particles in our galaxy, cosmic rays that carry energies far beyond what human-made accelerators can achieve. Now, ...

The destruction of particles has been long associated with high-energy physics and the construction of large-scale particle accelerators. It is perhaps less well-known that in solid state physics, the ...
