New data from particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), an "atom smasher" at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, reveals how the primordial ...

UPTON, NY—Nuclear physicists studying particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)—a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science user facility at DOE’s Brookhaven National ...

The muon collider was once dismissed as impossible, but is now gaining steam as the successor to the Large Hadron Collider.

The world's largest particle accelerator has performed its first collisions, and its first beam acceleration. Progress on the giant experiment has been rapid in the four days since the Large Hadron ...

Nuclear physicists studying particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have new evidence that particles called gluons reach a steady 'saturated' state inside the speeding ions.
