In this video, we break down the physics behind clay pendulum balls and their collisions. Learn about momentum, energy transfer, and how these simple systems can explain key concepts in ...

Heavy collisions Artist’s impression charged particle tracks streaming from a collision of two uranium nuclei overlaid on a sketch of the STAR detector at RHIC. The incoming uranium nuclei are shown ...

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a one-dimensional “quantum wire” using a gas of ultracold atoms. In this system, both ...

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 ...

Mathematicians and physicists have noticed a strange coincidence occurring between their respective fields: the values computed from particle physics experiments seem to correspond with a specific set ...

When black holes collide, the impact radiates into space like the sound of a bell in the form of gravitational waves. But ...

Atomic physics can be used to study atoms in isolation, and atomic collision physics can be used to study the way in which electrons interact. A process of particular interest is what happens when two ...

It's impossible to talk about football these days without talking about the problem of big hits. The giant dramatic collisions between players moving at high speed are at once one of the great ...
