The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) recently set a new record, as CERN announced that the world's most powerful accelerator had achieved the highest-energy collisions of heavy atomic nuclei. The ...

The study of molecular collisions and energy transfer dynamics is central to our understanding of chemical reactions and the redistribution of energy at the microscopic level. This field spans from ...

CERN has been able to take the first measurements of collisions between particles with the highest energy ever generated. These collisions were performed at CERN’s new LHC accelerator. CERN has been ...

In the last episode of MythBusters, they wanted to see if a tornado could make some glass cut off a person's head. The first attempt was just to take some glass and through it at a simulated human ...

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 ...

Today low-energy protons met in the hearts of the four Large Hadron Collider experiments. These test collisions will help the ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb collaborations calibrate their detectors in ...

Relativistic heavy-ion collisions produce a high density of partons with strong final-state interactions and lead to the formation of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Experimental evidence at the ...

In another key step toward the return of experiments to the Large Hadron Collider, the machine’s operators ran the first collisions at its new top energy: 13 Tera-electronVolts. This is the planned ...

This article was originally published on The Conversation. Read the original article. There was much excitement when scientists witnessed the violent collision of two ultra-dense, massive stars more ...

In this lesson we use motion in our bodies to experience low and high energy. We consider how energy plays a part in our daily lives through a drawing activity. Lastly, we introduce collisions and ...

Physicists have started running the world's largest particle accelerator at a new record energy and taking the first data from these ultra-powerful collisions. Protons zoom around the 17 mile (27 ...
