CERN's large hadron collider is responsible for discovering the Higgs boson particle in 2012, which confirmed a hypothesis from as early as 1964.

CERN has just upgraded the world’s largest particle accelerator after successfully powering a new ...

When you think of a particle accelerator, you usually think of some giant cyclotron with heavy-duty equipment in a massive mad-science lab. But scientists now believe they can create particle ...

Scientists using China's Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) recently found that a remarkable binary system ...

CERN shuts down the Large Hadron Collider for four years to prepare a major upgrade that could transform particle physics.

China has brought online a record-breaking particle accelerator that can produce the world’s most intense beams of charged atoms. This is HIAF — the High Intensity Heavy-ion Accelerator Facility ...

The famous particle accelerator has gone silent, but its next chapter could usher in a new era of particle physics.

After more than two decades of searching, scientists have finally observed a phenomenon in a hot and dense particle 'soup' similar to that which filled the cosmos moments after the Big Bang.

Deep beneath the border of France and Switzerland is the most massive, most ambitious experiment ever undertaken by humanity. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator that uses a ...

An electrical device that generates charged particles, such as electrons, protons and ions, at high energy. So-called "nuclear accelerators" are used to split the atom for scientific research, but ...
