The world’s most powerful particle accelerator has shattered every previous record, marking a pivotal moment for scientific ...

LHC experiments don’t create large gold nuggets — but some particles within a beam of lead ions can turn into gold for about a microsecond. The dream of seventeenth-century alchemists has been ...

As scientists at the CERN Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland continue their search for the elusive Higgs boson "God particle," one physicist has built a tribute to their work entirely out of ...

Artistic representation of the tunnel for the Future Circular Collider (image: PIXELRISE) Particle colliders are unique instruments that allow ...

Deep in the heart of the matter, some numbers don't add up. For example, while protons and neutrons are made of quarks, ...

MEYRIN, Switzerland — There is silence on the subatomic firing range. A quarter-century ago, the physicists of CERN, the European Center for Nuclear Research, bet their careers and their political ...

Lewa diaphragm metering pumps will play a central role in the ambitious Phase 2 Upgrade of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) ...

AMES, Iowa – As energies go up, so do the chances of exotic particles showing up in the detectors of the Large Hadron Collider. And that has four Iowa State physicists and their team of postdoctoral ...

For these physicists at CU Boulder, searching for the unknown is a matter of speed. Over the last decade, researchers on campus, including dozens of graduate and undergraduate students, have taken ...

In a statement issued Tuesday, the Geneva-based European Organization for Nuclear Research, known by its French acronym CERN, said the problem stems from a helium leak in one of the sectors of the LHC ...

Texas A&M University professor Peter McIntyre and his colleagues want to build a particle accelerator around the rim of the Gulf of Mexico in order to discover the most fundamental building blocks of ...
