Scientists used high-energy heavy ion collisions to reveal subtle details about the shapes of atomic nuclei. They demonstrated the new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic ...

The research team at ALICE, A Large Ion Collider Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), confirmed the first-ever observation of antihyperhelium-4, the antimatter partner of hyperhelium. The ...

Four Sundays each year, a sprawling Energy Department facility on Long Island opens its gates to the public and turns part of its 5,000 acres into a gleeful science fair. Demonstrators freeze flowers ...

After a decade of construction, the new-and-improved super Pioneering High Energy Nuclear Interaction eXperiment (sPHENIX) is officially ready for science as it passes a key “standard candle” ...

Understanding why we live in a matter-dominated universe demands that scientists recreate the quark-gluon plasma that existed one millionth of a second after the Big Bang. A Large Ion Collider ...
