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

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a massive scientific experimental facility at the European Organization for Nuclear Research ...

Inside high-energy proton collisions, quarks and gluons briefly form a dense, boiling state before cooling into ordinary ...

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

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 (LHC) and its associated experiments undergo an annual, multi-week reset and calibration procedure following a winter hibernation period, essential for accurate data ...

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

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

The big picture: The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) hosts one of the most ambitious engineering and scientific endeavors ever undertaken by humans. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) ...
