China's Circular Electron Positron Collider was meant to pick up where the Large Hadron Collider left off, but the project ...
Once a surprise to physicists, these particles are useful tools inside and outside the realm of particle physics.
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 ...
In this video, I explore CERN and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), located 100m beneath Geneva, Switzerland. The 27km long ...
Europe's top physics lab CERN launches its newest particle accelerator, billed as a key step towards future experiments that could unlock the universe's greatest mysteries.
In 1929, Ernest Orlando Lawrence invented the cyclotron: a compact, efficient particle accelerator that used magnets. Two ...
The Large Hadron Collider will be shut down, paving the way for a major upgrade, and perhaps its eventual, even bigger sucessor.
The European Strategy Group tasked a working group to compare seven proposals for CERN’s next large-scale collider.
China’s decision to halt work on what was meant to be the world’s largest particle accelerator has reshaped the global race ...
When matter collides with antimatter, both vanish in a powerful energy burst. Scientists explain who truly wins this cosmic ...
The most direct probe of λ3 comes from Higgs-boson pair production (HH). HH production happens most often by the fusion of ...
Astronomers analyzing data from Vera C. Rubin Observatory have discovered the fastest-ever spinning asteroid with a diameter ...
