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 ...

Scientists working with particle colliders have long been at the frontier of discovering new dimensions of reality. Recently, a groundbreaking discovery at a leading particle collider has sent ripples ...

For a while, in the Middle Ages, there was a real craze for trying to turn unassuming lead into pure, gleaming gold. Perhaps those ancient alchemists should have been building a particle collider.

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 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 ...

Physicists on the CMS experiment announce the most elaborate mass measurement of a particle that is notoriously difficult to study and has captivated the physics community for decades. After an ...

When you push “start” on your microwave or computer, the device flips right on — but major physics experiments like the Large Hadron Collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known ...

Physicists are using the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to test key accelerator strategies for a new state-of-the-art Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) that will reuse some of RHIC's crucial ...

Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...
