A big part of physics is understanding collisions and how they're not all the same.

Anyons – the particle-like collective excitations that can exist in some 2D materials – tend to bunch together in a two-dimensional conductor. This behaviour, which has now been observed by physicists ...

By exploring positive geometry, mathematicians are revealing hidden shapes that may unify particle physics and cosmology, offering new ways to understand both collisions in accelerators and the ...

The first electron–positron collisions occurred at an upgrade to one of Japan’s premier particle-physics experiments on 26 April. Following six years of work, the start of the SuperKEKB accelerator ...

Extreme collisions between neutron stars could create exotic particles beyond the standard model, including axions, the hypothetical particle that comprises dark matter.
