The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the largest and most powerful particle accelerator ever built, is ready to go back into service after a three-year overhaul and refit. On April 22, 2022 at 12:16 pm ...

Firing particles at each other at 99.99% of the speed of light, the LHC is back in the race to discover new physics. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

The letters “www” are typically followed by a “dot” — but not in this experiment. Around 270 WWW events, trios of particles called W bosons, appeared in an experiment at the world’s largest particle ...

Estimating things that exist is generally easy, but when it comes to estimating things that do not exist, it's more difficult ...

The revamped LHC will see more particle collisions and mind-blowing energy levels to hunt for dark matter and extra dimensions. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Several centuries ago, a branch of alchemy called chrysopoeia is said to have explored the possibilities of transforming widely available base metals into precious metals. Early practitioners never ...

CERN engineers have developed a fleet of small, AI-powered robots designed to race through the pipe networks of the Large Hadron Collider, and the project’s nickname tells you almost everything you ...

Former UCSC graduate student Jessica Metcalfe takes a rest on the temporary catwalk inside the ATLAS cryostat at CERN, where she was installing cables to be connected to the detector’s inner tracker.

Neutrinos are some of the most enigmatic particles in all of physics. Sporting a neutral charge and a mass close to zero, neutrinos rarely interact with other matter and as such have been notoriously ...

In the time it takes you to read this sentence, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will have smashed billions of particles ...

It's not a WIMP and it doesn't break the Standard Model. But it did get a particle physicist from CERN to say "we have always been very cool." Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X ...
