With a specialised telescope in Namibia a DESY-led team of researchers has proven a certain type of binary star as a new kind of source for very high-energy cosmic gamma-radiation. Eta Carinae is ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Often in physics, if you want to investigate the very small, you need to build something very big. The most famous example—the Large Hadron ...

Over a century ago, Ernest Rutherford discovered the proton by splitting the atom in a laboratory in Manchester. Today, researchers based in Manchester have discovered a new particle that Rutherford ...

A single subatomic particle that hit Earth in 2023 carried roughly 100,000 times more energy than anything humanity has ever produced in a particle collider. It was a neutrino, one of nature’s most ...

A new particle collider that will surpass the Large Hadron Collider is being developed. It is scheduled to search for particles that will solve the mysteries of the universe beyond the Higgs boson in ...

The Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB accelerator measures particle interactions with extreme precision. Collisions of electron and positron beams create the high-energy environment needed to ...
