Seventeen miles of underground tunnel, thousands of superconducting magnets, and protons whipped to a fraction below light ...
Particles rush through a long tunnel in the Large Hadron Collider. Maximilien Brice/CERN, CC BY-SA When you push “start” on your microwave or computer, the device flips right on – but major physics ...
One of the world's most sophisticated scientific facilities is turning to ultra-low temperatures to try and unravel hidden secrets of our Universe.
After a three-year-long nap, the world’s largest particle collider is awake and ready to help physicists probe the very edge of science itself, including the possible existence of a mysterious fifth ...
This is what the creation of a Higgs Boson looks like to the Large Hadron Collider. (Credit: CERN) The Higgs boson is, if ...
The ATLAS and CMS experiments have observed a process 4,000 times rarer than the production of Higgs bosons. The ATLAS and CMS experiments have successfully detected the production of a quartet of top ...
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and its associated experiments undergo an annual, multi-week reset and calibration procedure following a winter hibernation period, essential for accurate data ...
Scientists are investigating the elusive neutrino with a new experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Scientists used the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the LHC at CERN (the French ...
After the successful initiation of two new detectors, scientists have begun to envision an expanded suite of neutrino experiments at the Large Hadron Collider. CERN physicist Jamie Boyd enters a ...
The old fantasy of transforming lead into gold is now a reality, made possible by some wildly inefficient physics at the ...
Gavin Hesketh receives funding from The Royal Society and STFC. It’s not every day my Twitter feed is full of people talking about flat-tops, squeezing and injections, but then Wednesday 3 June was ...
CERN's ALICE collaboration reveals how fragile deuterons survive high-energy collisions, impacting models of cosmic rays and ...
