An international team of physicists has studied how particles are produced in high-energy electron–proton collisions through the lens of entanglement entropy Entanglement entropy has emerged as a new ...

Deep inside every atom lies a restless world of quarks and gluons—the tiny building blocks that hold everything together, from rocks to stars. For decades, physicists have tried to understand how ...

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 ...

Five hundred thousand times per second, the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will record a collision. At that rate, machine learning will sort, filter, and reconstruct what’s happening inside the detector.

A suspended apparatus used to minimize friction during the experiment. The heavier brass cylinder and lighter ping-pong ball collide repeatedly against the transparent wall, reproducing 31 collisions ...

Rigid body interactions are fundamental to numerous scientific disciplines, but remain challenging to simulate due to their abrupt nonlinear nature and sensitivity to complex, often unknown ...
