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 ...

In the theoretical study of proton-nucleus collisions, the colliding projectiles can be described as streams of color charges ...

A big part of physics is understanding collisions and how they're not all the same. COLLISIONS! A big part of physics is understanding collisions and how they're not all the same. Mass, momentum, and ...

Newswise — UPTON, N.Y. — Silver is the traditional gift for 25 th wedding anniversaries, but gold continues to be the element of choice for scientists conducting research at the Relativistic Heavy Ion ...

Heavy collisions Artist’s impression charged particle tracks streaming from a collision of two uranium nuclei overlaid on a sketch of the STAR detector at RHIC. The incoming uranium nuclei are shown ...

Researchers use lasers and extreme cooling to monitor the rotational states of molecular ions after they collide with electrons, confirming predictions about the rates of these collisions. In ...

Dense ensembles of laser-cooled molecules allow the observation of molecular collisions—a result that could lead to applications of cold molecular gases in quantum simulation and fundamental physics ...

Theorists show that collisions between particles with orbital angular momentum could offer a new way to study intrinsic spin properties. Light with orbital angular momentum has a wave front that ...

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 ...
