Two microscopic grains collide and produce a tiny spark. This phenomenon may have provided the energy to kick off life on ...

Learn more about the nearly invisible layer of carbon that may control how dust grains become electrically charged and how that discovery could help future missions to the moon and Mars.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has begun its first-ever collisions of oxygen ions, in the latest attempt to understand the early universe. The LHC is largely famous for its proton-proton collisions, ...

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking 'Hybrid Supraparticle Synthesis Technology' that attaches inorganic nanoparticles to the surface of polymer microparticles through simple mechanical ...

The sPHENIX detector is the newest experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and is designed to precisely measure products of high-speed particle collisions ...

The CMS collaboration compared high-transverse-momentum particle yields in oxygen–oxygen, neon–neon, xenon–xenon and lead–lead collisions.
