The famous particle accelerator has gone silent, but its next chapter could usher in a new era of particle physics. Reading time 5 minutes Deep beneath the French-Swiss border, the world’s largest ...

Deep beneath the French-Swiss border, the world’s largest scientific instrument has fallen silent. After years of smashing proton particles together at nearly the speed of light, Cern’s Large Hadron ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest, most powerful particle accelerator, and the center of many a conspiracy, has been shut down. After completing a final collision and physics run on ...

Muons are one of the key subatomic particles for discovering new physics, but tracking them after particle collisions can be difficult and prone to error. A new study ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), is the world's most powerful particle collider located underground at the French-Swiss border. Its ...

Our planet is under a constant bombardment of radiation—from space. Well, maybe it’s not as scary as that makes it seem. “Radiation” is a catchall term astronomers use for forms of light—including ...

Physicists just discovered a brand-new particle that appears to be an exotic cousin to the protons and neutrons that make up atoms. Those mundane subatomic particles are made up of even smaller ...

Estimating things that exist is generally easy, but when it comes to estimating things that do not exist, it’s more difficult. This is something physicists from Poland and the UK are well aware of. To ...

The CMS Collaboration has shown, for the first time, that machine learning can be used to fully reconstruct particle collisions at the LHC. This new approach can reconstruct collisions more quickly ...

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), the largest particle collider in the United States, collided its last particles in early February. RHIC is a massive accelerator ring and set of instruments ...
