A big part of physics is understanding collisions and how they're not all the same. COLLISIONS! A big part of physics is understanding collisions and how they're not all the same. Mass, momentum, and ...

Anyons – the particle-like collective excitations that can exist in some 2D materials – tend to bunch together in a two-dimensional conductor. This behaviour, which has now been observed by physicists ...

Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy collisions produce a shower of subatomic fragments that scientists ...

Ready to go: the Belle II experiment will run on Japan's SuperKEKB accelerator. (Courtesy: KEK) The first electron–positron collisions occurred at an upgrade to one of Japan’s premier particle-physics ...
