Seventeen miles of underground tunnel, thousands of superconducting magnets, and protons whipped to a fraction below light ...

The old fantasy of transforming lead into gold is now a reality, made possible by some wildly inefficient physics at the ...

This is what the creation of a Higgs Boson looks like to the Large Hadron Collider. (Credit: CERN) The Higgs boson is, if ...

In effect, it’s lab-grown gold, but at billions of dollars for a few atoms, it’s unlikely to shake the gold market.

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

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

The restart of the Large Hadron Collider has been pushed back further, following the discovery of vacuum leaks in two sectors of the experiment. The world's largest particle collider is now unlikely ...

The Large Hadron Collider is heading for another extended shutdown, a planned pause that will take the world’s most powerful accelerator offline just as its current run reaches full stride. Far from ...

This article was originally featured on The Conversation. When you push “start” on your microwave or computer, the device flips right on – but major physics experiments like the Large Hadron Collider ...
