Twin black hole collisions detected in 2024 have provided the sharpest-ever test of Einstein’s theory while revealing new details about how black holes form and spin.

For the first time, scientists have detected two black hole mergers with spins so unusual they may reveal a new generation of ...

Ready to go: the Belle II experiment will run on Japan's SuperKEKB accelerator. (Courtesy: KEK) The first electron–positron collisions occurred at an upgrade to one of Japan’s premier particle-physics ...

Laser cooling and trapping allow physicists to map the dynamics of every ion-atom encounter in a collision experiment. For many years atomic-collision experiments basically involved measuring the ...

For the first time, scientists have the calculations and simulations to explain mysterious flashes from the galaxy OJ 287.
