A new age of exploration dawned at the start of Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider, as protons began colliding at the unprecedented centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The ATLAS experiment now frequently ...

Nuclear physicists are trying to understand how particles called quarks and gluons combine to form hadrons, composite particles made of two or three quarks. To study this process, called hadronization ...

Scientists have developed a powerful analysis method for live cell microscopy images in order to track the movements of biological particles in a cell. This so-called probabilistic particle tracking ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Muons are one of the key subatomic particles for discovering new physics, but tracking them after particle ...

Air pollution is a serious and often underestimated health threat in the U.S. It is linked to over 50,000 premature deaths each year. Tiny particles in the air, like PM2.5, can get embedded into a ...

High above the ice in Antarctica, a group of enormous balloons was quietly tracking a phenomenon that could not be seen from ...

A new trigger system will expand what ATLAS scientists can look for during high-energy collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. For its next big performance, the Large Hadron Collider will restart in ...

Researchers have created a single nanoparticle that can be tracked in real time with MRI as it homes in on cancer cells, tags them with a fluorescent dye and kills them with heat. The all-in-one ...

Muons are one of the key subatomic particles for discovering new physics, but tracking them after particle collisions can be difficult and prone to error. A new study ...
