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 ...

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 ...

Scientists working at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have identified a previously unseen charmed baryon, a heavy subatomic particle belonging to the Xi family that had never been recorded in the ...

Medieval alchemists toiled unsuccessfully to change lead into gold, but physicists at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland had better luck – though for only a microsecond. Instead of alchemy, ...

An unforeseen feature in proton-proton collisions previously observed by the CMS experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has now been confirmed by its sister experiment ATLAS. High-energy ...

magazine published a feature on the detection of “magic” top quarks at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This magic, they explained, is part of an interesting shift happening at the LHC as ...

Instead of using the Large Hadron Collider to smash atoms together, researchers briefly turned lead into gold by facilitating near-misses. Reading time 2 minutes Hundreds of years ago, alchemists ...

Researchers have proposed that exotic particles emitted by the Large Hadron Collider’s relativistic beams might reveal themselves in collisions of their own. True to its name, CERN’s Large Hadron ...
