Deep beneath the serene landscape straddling the border of France and Switzerland, a marvel of modern science and engineering lies in wait. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, a massive particle ...

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 final elements of the FASER (Forward Search Experiment) detector are installed in the TI12 tunnel of the LHC. It is located along the beam collision axis, 480 m from the ATLAS interaction point, ...

The Large Hadron Collider may soon uncover the secrets of dark photons. Should we be scared? (Spoiler: no). Back in the summer of 2022, TikTok lost its mind over news that the Large Hadron Collider — ...

Planning is well underway for the successor to the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). LHC operators at CERN revealed the results of a "midterm review" of ...

When you push “start” on your microwave or computer, the device flips right on — but major physics experiments like the Large Hadron Collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known ...

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 ...

CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, has been at the forefront of fundamental scientific research. In 2012, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) found proof of the Higgs Boson, which ...

If you want to see some funny nerd-runs over the next couple of days, go hang out at your local university's physics department. The physical scientists there will be running up and down the halls, ...

Europe is pushing forwards with plans to build a 91-kilometre-long, 15-billion-swiss-franc (US$17-billion) supercollider underneath the French and Swiss countryside. The machine would allow ...

For centuries, great thinkers of the Greco-Roman, Islamic, Medieval, and even early Enlightenment worlds investigated the possibilities of alchemy—the process of transforming base metals (i.e. lead) ...
