Inside the Large Hadron Collider, protons slam together at nearly the speed of light, creating a brief fireball of quarks and ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. But while the LHC has proven a success when it comes to the Higgs, whose existence was confirmed ...

China's ambitious new particle accelerator was meant to pick up where the Large Hadron Collider left off, but the project was ...

Inside the most powerful particle colliders on Earth, protons slam together at nearly the speed of light, shredding matter ...

The Large Hadron Collider is going to be shut down — not permanently, but for a pretty long time — and the famous atom ...

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 ...

The Large Hadron Collider is entering a rare quiet spell, with its proton collisions halted so engineers can prepare the ...

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 CMS detector is one of the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider. CMS scientists have updated the trigger of the detector to expand the search for long-lived particles. Credit: CERN Since the ...

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 ...
