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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have seemingly achieved the impossible — they've discovered a way to observe mysterious quantum particles even without directly observing them. How does ...

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 ...

HOUSTON -- (Dec. 14, 2009) -- Researchers at Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) have created a single nanoparticle that can be tracked in real time with MRI as it homes in on cancer ...

Here's what you'll learn when you read this story: When scientists at the Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire, or CERN, in Switzerland want to study the subatomic world, they first need to ...
