The Large Hadron Collider is transitioning into a new era as it shuts down for a major upgrade, paving the way for ...

Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles — the standard model of particle physics — ...

Theoretical physicist John Ellis has spent decades at the heart of CERN, helping to shape our understanding of the universe ...

The future circular collider at CERN, intended to probe the properties of the Higgs boson in 20 years' time, excites ...

Energy prices have been in the news more often than not lately, as has war. The two typically go together, as conflicts tend to impact on the supply and trade of fossil fuels. With Europe short on gas ...

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.

Deep underground, researchers from nations in conflict have worked side by side for decades, driven by curiosity and shared wonder. For 70 years, CERN has stood as an act of hope, a place where ...

Scientists turned the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) back on after a three-year shutdown. The Large Hadron Collider is the world’s largest particle accelerator. Physicists and people interested in ...

CERN’s Large Hadron Collider-b (LHCb) experiment presented its latest discovery last week at a meeting of the European Physical Society Conference on High Energy Physics. Meet the double-charm ...

Last week, a team of physicists working in CERN’s Large Hadron Collider announced the facility’s first detection of neutrinos, which are some of the smallest, most weakly interacting particles yet ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which is the world's largest atom smasher, may have just made one of the greatest scientific discoveries in recent memory. If matter and antimatter existed in equal ...
