Once a year, the Large Hadron Collider smashes lead ions. But how do scientists get a heavy metal into a particle accelerator ...

Black holes are fascinating cosmic entities that have intrigued scientists for decades. They are regions in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape ...

The High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider, edited by Oliver Brüning and Lucio Rossi, provides a comprehensive review of an upgrade project designed to boost the total event statistics of the LHC by ...

Particle accelerators, such as those at CERN, are essential for advancing our understanding of fundamental physics. However, the radiation produced during particle collisions can significantly ...

In the first study of its kind at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the CMS collaboration has tested whether top quarks adhere ...

Mark Thomson, CERN's Director General designate for 2025, talks to the Courier about the future of particle physics.

Scientists used the most massive fundamental particles to break special relativity, but even that didn’t work.

In the first study of its kind at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the CMS collaboration has tested whether top quarks ...

A new underground facility called DUNE, which will accelerate particles for 800 miles between Illinois and South Dakota, ...

Researchers at the Large Hadron Collider tested whether top quarks, the most massive known elementary particles, comply with ...

A new analysis of data from the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) reveals fresh evidence that collisions of even very small nuclei with large ones might create tiny ...
