The Large Hadron Collider is entering a rare quiet spell, with its proton collisions halted so engineers can prepare the ...

The Large Hadron Collider is going to be shut down — not permanently, but for a pretty long time — and the famous atom ...

The LHCb experiment has taken a leap in precision physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In a new paper submitted to Physical Review Letters and currently available on the arXiv preprint server, ...

In physics, there are two great pillars of thought that don't quite fit together. The Standard Model of particle physics describes all known fundamental particles and three forces: electromagnetism, ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) remains one of the pinnacles of ...

China's ambitious new particle accelerator was meant to pick up where the Large Hadron Collider left off, but the project was ...

The researchers have been working at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland on the ATLAS project. A visualization of a proton-proton collision in the ATLAS detector ...

At the Large Hadron Collider, scientists from the University of Kansas achieved a fleeting form of modern-day alchemy — turning lead into gold for just a fraction of a second. Using ultra-peripheral ...

Physicists from the ATLAS collaboration at the European Organization for Nuclear Research — including members of Penn’s ATLAS group — have been awarded the 2025 Breakthrough Prize in fundamental ...

Medieval alchemists dreamed of transmuting lead into gold. Today, we know that lead and gold are different elements, and no amount of chemistry can turn one into the other. But our modern knowledge ...

Scientists at CERN’s ATLAS experiment have uncovered compelling evidence of Higgs bosons decaying into muons, an incredibly rare event that could deepen our understanding of how particles acquire mass ...
