Every time I write about particle physics, I encounter a moment of uncertainty about a quantity that, at first glance, ought to be clear. How many kinds of elementary particles should I say there are?

Illustration of a spiking neural network — dots represent neurons and lines show their connections. These systems help particle detectors analyze massive streams of experimental data. Scientists at ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), is the world's most powerful particle collider located underground at the French-Swiss border. Its ...

"This is the first time we have observed, for a large interval in momentum and for multiple species, this flow pattern in a subset of proton collisions in which an unusually large number of particles ...

Our planet is under a constant bombardment of radiation—from space. Well, maybe it’s not as scary as that makes it seem. “Radiation” is a catchall term astronomers use for forms of light—including ...

A new particle has popped into existence at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, a heavier proton-like particle that contains two charm quarks. Protons and neutrons are examples of a class of particles ...

The CMS Collaboration has shown, for the first time, that machine learning can be used to fully reconstruct particle collisions at the LHC. This new approach can reconstruct collisions more quickly ...

Fundamental particles called quarks can be created in quantum-correlated pairs. These correlations can be passed on to larger particles that form from the quarks. The strong force differs from others ...

A two-vehicle crash on an Ohio highway on Jan. 21 claimed the lives of drivers Micaela Pedicone and Darnell McKinney Jr. Micaela Pedicone/Facebook Ohio State Highway Patrol said a car driven by ...

One of the two victims killed in a two-vehicle collision on a highway in Ohio earlier this week was an elementary school teacher, officials confirmed, while the other was a custodian and father of ...

This After Effects tutorial shows how to create a dynamic particle explosion effect for music videos and visual edits. Learn how to use particles, motion, and compositing techniques to add high-impact ...
