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 ...

At the world’s most powerful colliders, physicists are finally catching sight of particles that almost never leave a trace, a “ghost” signal that has haunted theory for decades. The detection of these ...

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 ...

Planning is well underway for the successor to the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). LHC operators at CERN revealed the results of a "midterm review" of ...

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 ...

The next head of Europe's CERN physics laboratory said Thursday that he favored moving forward with plans for a giant particle collider far more powerful than the collider that discovered the famous ...

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 ...
