When black holes collide, the impact radiates into space like the sound of a bell in the form of gravitational waves. But ...

When two black holes slam together, they do not simply vanish into darkness, they ring like struck bells and briefly light up ...

When you look up at the night sky, planets seem calm and fixed. But a new study shows that nearby planetary systems can be ...

Heavy collisions Artist’s impression charged particle tracks streaming from a collision of two uranium nuclei overlaid on a sketch of the STAR detector at RHIC. The incoming uranium nuclei are shown ...

Mathematicians and physicists have noticed a strange coincidence occurring between their respective fields: the values computed from particle physics experiments seem to correspond with a specific set ...

Ready to go: the Belle II experiment will run on Japan's SuperKEKB accelerator. (Courtesy: KEK) The first electron–positron collisions occurred at an upgrade to one of Japan’s premier particle-physics ...

Atomic physics can be used to study atoms in isolation, and atomic collision physics can be used to study the way in which electrons interact. A process of particular interest is what happens when two ...

It's impossible to talk about football these days without talking about the problem of big hits. The giant dramatic collisions between players moving at high speed are at once one of the great ...
