In my January 23, 2026, “The Universe” column, I wrote about some of the biggest bangs the universe has to offer: exploding stars, hiccupping magnetars, stellar disruptions and colliding black holes.

The study of molecular collisions and energy transfer dynamics is central to our understanding of chemical reactions and the redistribution of energy at the microscopic level. This field spans from ...

This article was originally published on The Conversation. Read the original article. There was much excitement when scientists witnessed the violent collision of two ultra-dense, massive stars more ...

Relativistic heavy-ion collisions produce a high density of partons with strong final-state interactions and lead to the formation of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Experimental evidence at the ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a novel artificial ...

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 ...

An international team of physicists has studied how particles are produced in high-energy electron–proton collisions through the lens of entanglement entropy Entanglement entropy has emerged as a new ...

In this lesson we use motion in our bodies to experience low and high energy. We consider how energy plays a part in our daily lives through a drawing activity. Lastly, we introduce collisions and ...

A new database of electron-molecule reactions is a major step forward in making nuclear fusion power a reality, by allowing researchers to accurately model plasmas containing molecular hydrogen. A new ...
