The Large Hadron Collider is entering a rare quiet spell, with its proton collisions halted so engineers can prepare the ...

The Large Hadron Collider is going to be shut down — not permanently, but for a pretty long time — and the famous atom ...

China's ambitious new particle accelerator was meant to pick up where the Large Hadron Collider left off, but the project was ...

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 ...

In collisions at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, hotter than the Sun’s core by a staggering margin, scientists have finally ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. But while the LHC has proven a success when it comes to the Higgs, whose existence was confirmed ...

In a recent experiment, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN produced particles believed to have only existed in the moments following the Big Bang. This remarkable achievement offers valuable ...

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 ...

Deep beneath the serene landscape straddling the border of France and Switzerland, a marvel of modern science and engineering lies in wait. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, a massive particle ...

The ATLAS particle detector at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) outside Geneva is 150 ft. long, 82 ft. high, weighs 7,000 tons, and contains enough cable and wiring to wrap around ...
