Astrophysical observations suggest that magnetic reconnection in relativistic plasmas plays an important role in the acceleration of energetic particles. Modeling this accurately requires numerical ...

Physicists are using the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to test key accelerator strategies for a new state-of-the-art Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) that will reuse some of RHIC's crucial ...

For more than two decades, researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory’s particle accelerator have recreated conditions similar to those at the beginning of the universe. Now, the Relativistic Heavy ...

Laser-plasma interaction encompasses the intense coupling between high-power laser pulses and ionised matter, leading to the generation of extreme electric and magnetic fields. When a femtosecond or ...

Physicists from the Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) have been conducting research on the matter constituting the atomic nucleus utilizing the world's three most powerful particle accelerators. Their ...

Europe's CERN laboratory has taken its first steps towards building a huge new particle accelerator that would eclipse its Large Hadron Collider—and hopes to see light at the end of the tunnel. The ...

Composite image of the Tycho Supernova remnant. Shock waves from such explosive events are believed to be the main drivers behind cosmic rays. Scientists have come a step closer to understanding how ...

The Brookhaven National Laboratory’s (BNL) Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider completed its last run last Friday after a quarter-century of data collection. “We’re here celebrating the scientists, ...

(Nanowerk News) Albert Einstein, one of the most celebrated modern scientists, proposed the revolutionary theory of special relativity over a century ago. This theory forms the basis of most of what ...
