The famed collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory has ended operations, but if all goes to plan, a new collider will rise ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. If you want to probe the frontiers of fundamental physics, you have to ...

When the universe first burst into being, all of space was a cosmic cauldron filled with a roiling, fiery liquid of ...

There’s a pencil lying on my desk right now. It’s not much to look at, but what if I could zoom way in and see the protons and other itty-bitty stuff inside it? My friend Ryan Corbin told me it would ...

Protons, the positively charged particles that help build every atom in our bodies, are starting to look less like classical billiard balls and more like quantum actors. A growing body of research now ...

Molecular dynamics are essential for life, an intricate process fundamentally driven by the proton. We encounter them every day, linked to the pH of our soaps and lotions. Protons play a vital role ...

Protons might be stretchier than they should be. The subatomic particles are built of smaller particles called quarks, which are bound together by a powerful interaction known as the strong force. New ...

Researchers from the National Graphene Institute at the University of Manchester have discovered a way to use light to accelerate proton transport through graphene, which could revolutionise the way ...

Scientists at the University of Manchester’s National Graphene Institute have found a mechanism to speed proton transport across graphene using light, which has the potential to completely change how ...

The protons must first accelerate to about 60 percent of the speed of light, or around 114,000 miles per second. Only then can the stream of protons be tuned and focused on its target — a human tumor.
