A team of scientists has devised a machine learning algorithm that calculates, with low computational time, how the ATLAS detector in the Large Hadron Collider would respond to the ten times more data ...

Estimating things that exist is generally easy, but when it comes to estimating things that do not exist, it's more difficult. This is something physicists from Poland and the UK are well aware of. To ...

An innovative algorithm for detecting collisions of high-speed particles within nuclear fusion reactors has been developed, inspired by technologies used to determine whether bullets hit targets in ...

Emerging from the collision: a snapshot from the simulation at γ = 10, showing the two colliding particles forming a black hole. (Courtesy: Phys. Rev. Lett.) New simulations of head-on collisions of ...

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 ...

When fundamental particles are heavier or lighter than expected, physicists' understanding of the universe can tip into the unknown. A particle that is just beyond its predicted mass can unravel ...
