Deep beneath the French-Swiss border, the world's largest scientific instrument has fallen silent. After years of smashing ...

And no, they didn’t shut down ‘cuz it was gonna create a black hole. LHC will be replaced with an upgrade—HiLumi LHC.

The world's most powerful particle accelerator will undergo some major upgrades during the 4-year hiatus.

When I arrived at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in the prairie suburbs west of Chicago to begin my ...

According to one researcher, this observation "promises new insights into the evolution of the early universe." ...

The Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest atom smasher, has shut down for a planned 4-year upgrade that will make it 10 times more sensitive than its initial version.

The High-Luminosity LHC, planned to switch on in 2030, could help physicists unravel mysteries about the Higgs boson, dark matter and more.

Ever since the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, physicists have wanted to build new particle colliders to better understand the properties of that elusive particle and probe elementary particle ...

The findings suggest black holes could provide a cheaper, natural alternative to billion-dollar particle colliders, if we can figure out how to harness them. Reading time 2 minutes A new study from ...

Muons are getting a move on. In a step toward new types of particle physics experiments, scientists cooled and then accelerated a beam of muons. The subatomic particles, heavy cousins of electrons, ...
