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

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

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN have successfully transmuted lead into gold — not by alchemy, but by smashing heavy ions together at nearly the speed of light. The process, ...

The world's largest particle accelerator has performed its first collisions, and its first beam acceleration. Progress on the giant experiment has been rapid in the four days since the Large Hadron ...

(Nanowerk News) The world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator may be producing the world’s tiniest droplets of liquid, right under scientists’ noses. Researchers supported by the ...

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

Scientists used high-energy heavy ion collisions to reveal subtle details about the shapes of atomic nuclei. They demonstrated the new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic ...

A snapshot of a computer simulation showing how energy density changes over time in the collision of a lead ion with a photon emitted by another lead ion. The world’s largest and most powerful ...

Every time two beams of particles collide inside an accelerator, the universe lets us in on a little secret. Sometimes it's a particle no one has ever seen. Other times, it's a fleeting glimpse of ...

Caitlin Gainey and some of her Yale friends spent the summer in Europe hiking in the mountains, strolling through medieval villages — and searching for subatomic particle collisions that few humans ...

The long and complicated journey to detect the Higgs boson, which started with one small step about 25 years ago, might finally have reached its goal. This was reported by LHC particle accelerator ...
