The world's most powerful particle accelerator began circulating its first beams in 2008 and in 2012 hosted the discovery of the Higgs boson particle.

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 ...

The world's largest particle accelerator is about to take a long break. After years of smashing protons together, the Large ...

The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva switched off its Large Hadron Collider (LHC) on Monday morning to begin a planned major overhaul, aiming to boost its collision power ...

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

It begins on Canada’s West Coast, but it leads, ultimately, to the world’s biggest physics experiment, the Large Hadron ...

After decades of debate, the scientific case is clear for Europe’s Future Circular Collider, a colossal successor to the ...

A boiling sea of quarks and gluons, including virtual ones—this is how we can imagine the main phase of high-energy proton collisions. It would seem that particles here have significantly more ...

Behind every particle collision generated at the Large Hadron Collider is a multitude of technical feats. One of these is refrigeration on an industrial scale. To guide the particles, the thousands of ...

The next generation of cutting-edge accelerator magnets is no longer just an idea. Recent tests revealed that the United States and CERN have successfully co-created a prototype superconducting ...
