The world’s most powerful particle accelerator has shattered every previous record, marking a pivotal moment for scientific ...

Deep in the heart of the matter, some numbers don't add up. For example, while protons and neutrons are made of quarks, ...

MEYRIN, Switzerland — There is silence on the subatomic firing range. A quarter-century ago, the physicists of CERN, the European Center for Nuclear Research, bet their careers and their political ...

LHC experiments don’t create large gold nuggets — but some particles within a beam of lead ions can turn into gold for about a microsecond. The dream of seventeenth-century alchemists has been ...

The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has shed light on the structure of "exotic" particles. These particles ...

As scientists at the CERN Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland continue their search for the elusive Higgs boson "God particle," one physicist has built a tribute to their work entirely out of ...

Did you know the Swiss invented instant coffee? How about that they created the World Wide Web too? Or maybe that the world ...

AMES, Iowa – As energies go up, so do the chances of exotic particles showing up in the detectors of the Large Hadron Collider. And that has four Iowa State physicists and their team of postdoctoral ...

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 ...

Former UCSC graduate student Jessica Metcalfe takes a rest on the temporary catwalk inside the ATLAS cryostat at CERN, where she was installing cables to be connected to the detector’s inner tracker.
