Black holes could work as natural particle colliders to hunt for dark matter, scientists say
To unlock the secrets of dark matter, scientists could turn to supermassive black holes and their ability to act as natural superpowered particle colliders. That's according to new research that found ...
Scientists recently fired up the world's smallest particle accelerator for the first time. The tiny technological triumph, which is around the size of a small coin, could open the door to a wide range ...
Twenty-five feet below ground, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory scientist Spencer Gessner opens a large metal picnic basket. This is not your typical picnic basket filled with cheese, bread and ...
Black holes are powerful engines of pure gravity, capable of pulling on objects so intensely that they can't possibly escape. When those objects near the event horizon, they're accelerated to ...
Particle accelerators (often referred to as “atom smashers”) use strong electric fields to push streams of subatomic particles—usually protons or electrons—to tremendous speeds. Accelerators by the ...
Astronomers may have solved a major mystery about the supermassive black holes at the centres of some galaxies. A subset of these black holes called blazars blast out colossal jets of matter towards ...
