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

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 ...

The Large Hadron Collider is heading for another extended shutdown, a planned pause that will take the world’s most powerful ...

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

In collisions at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, hotter than the Sun’s core by a staggering margin, scientists have finally ...

Physicists at the world’s largest atom collider have observed three new exotic particles as they continue to search for clues about the mysterious forces that bind subatomic particles together, they ...

But particle physicists will have to scale back the energies of their experiments for years. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) should yield its first data by Christmas, smashing protons at energies high ...

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.

CERN has confirmed the first simultaneous acceleration of two separate proton beams around the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Occurring just after noon today (Central European Time), the result marks ...

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

In a recent study, ALICE scientists measured the way that lead ions colliding in the LHC sometimes transform into gold and other new nuclei. As a small child, physicist Chiara Oppedisano read the ...

Not long after celebrating a decade of operation, the world's most powerful particle accelerator is powering down for a couple of years to undergo some upgrades. Scientists at CERN have switched off ...
