CERN's large hadron collider is responsible for discovering the Higgs boson particle in 2012, which confirmed a hypothesis ...

The world's largest particle accelerator is about to take a long break. After years of smashing protons together, the Large ...

Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy collisions produce a shower of subatomic fragments that scientists ...

And no, they didn’t shut down ‘cuz it was gonna create a black hole. LHC will be replaced with an upgrade—HiLumi LHC.

Here's what you'll learn when you read this story: CERN's Super Proton Synchrotron will turn 50 in 2026—and it has a resonant "ghost." Using mathematics, physicists measured and modeled how these ...

A particle accelerator that produces intense X-rays could be squeezed into a device that fits on a table, my colleagues and I have found in a new research project. The way that intense X-rays are ...

Head to Switzerland for a tour of CERN, the world’s largest particle physics research laboratory, to discover the secrets of the universe.

While India has been participating in international particle-physics collaborations for many years, challenges remain before it can become a major player, as T V Padma reports Getting involved As an ...

As the massive 95-metric ton coldbox completed its cross-ocean journey, the crowd at Fermilab braving frigid winter temperatures last week could imagine what the particle accelerator being chilled to ...

Advanced photonics and techniques from the microchip industry are enabling physicists to develop light-based particle accelerators as small as a grain of rice, describes Joel England Light work ...
