Inside high-energy proton collisions, quarks and gluons briefly form a dense, boiling state before cooling into ordinary ...

At ultracold temperatures, interatomic collisions are relatively simple, and their outcome can be controlled using a magnetic field. However, research by scientists led by Prof. Michal Tomza from the ...

When you look up at the night sky, planets seem calm and fixed. But a new study shows that nearby planetary systems can be violent and chaotic. Using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have ...

While surveying distant worlds beyond our solar system, researchers unexpectedly obtained the first direct images showing ...

Astronomers studying a nearby star expected to find a planet. Instead, they caught two massive collisions in the Eye of ...

The cosmic origins of elements heavier than iron are mysterious. One elemental birthplace came to light in 2017 when two neutron-rich dead stars collided and spewed out gold, platinum and other hefty ...

NEW YORK (AP) — NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope got a rare look at the aftermath of two cosmic collisions — and helped scientists solve a decades-old mystery. Many years ago, scientists saw a dense, ...
