It's the second most energetic cosmic ray ever to be detected striking Earth.

Before the RHIC shut down, it was the only operational particle collider in the U.S. and one of two heavy-ion colliders in the world, the other being the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland.

Particle accelerators have many applications in medicine, industry and research. These machines accelerate charged particles, such as electrons and protons, to high speeds, sometimes even close to the ...

Neutrinos are very small, neutral subatomic particles that rarely interact with ordinary matter and are thus sometimes ...

Scientists believe that studying these explosions can help understand where such powerful neutrinos came from and can also provide new information in understanding the mystery of dark matter.

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider , the largest particle collider in the United States, collided its last particles in early February. RHIC is a massive accelerator ring and set ...

A single subatomic particle that hit Earth in 2023 carried roughly 100,000 times more energy than anything humanity has ever ...

After 25 years, Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider—the U.S.’s largest particle collider—has ...

The famed collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory has ended operations, but if all goes to plan, a new collider will rise ...

A team of physicists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst recently hypothesized that the event that occurred in 2023, when a subatomic particle called a neutrino crashed into Earth with such ...

Scientists suggests that a primordial black hole's death could be behind a mystery high-energy neutrino that crashed into Earth.

Spin correlations in the heart of a particle collider may help crack one of the biggest mysteries known, said physicist Zhoudunming Tu.
