Rubidium atoms can behave unpredictably during atomic collisions, especially when exposed to specific laser light.

The quantum rules shaping molecular collisions are now coming into focus, offering fresh insights for chemistry and materials ...

When two objects collide the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision (in the absence of external forces). This is the law of conservation of momentum.

NASA’s DART mission tested asteroid deflection. Scientists analyzed ejecta patterns, momentum transfer, and deflection ...

An object being fired from a cannon is also a collision where momentum must be conserved. As the momentum before the 'collision' is zero, the momentum after the collision is zero. In physics ...

In a new study published in Physical Review Letters, JILA Fellow and University of Colorado Boulder physics professor Cindy ...

Figure skaters from the Washington, D.C. area gathered on Monday to remember their teammates and coaches lost in the tragic collision between an American Airlines ...
