In the 1930s, scientists investigatedcosmic rays. When these highly energetic particles (protons) from outer space hit atoms of lead (i.e. nuclei of the atoms), many smaller particles were sprayed out. These particles were not protons or neutrons, but were much smaller. Therefore, scientists ...
Most experiments using the Large Hadron Collider visualize their data, but now this information can be translated into music in real time.Lucas Taylor / CERN via Wikimedia Commons The research conducted at theEuropean Organization for Nuclear Research(CERN) may be on the bleeding edge of ...
The prefix "femto" means 10−15 or 0.000000000000001, and an inverse femtobarn is a measurement of particle collisions per area — in other words, how many atoms actually smash together inside the machine. The more particle collisions that LHC creates, the better its chances of discovering ...
Before the supercollider opened in 2000, several reputable physicists raised the possibility that the experiments could create a chain reaction of “strangelets,” quarks missing an electron that would turn other nearby atoms into strange matter, too. ...
