Scientists have found new evidence that a pattern of “flow” observed in particles streaming ...

Event display in the signal region from data taken in 2018. The pixel tracklet candidate with p T = 1.2 TeV is shown by the red solid line and other inner detector tracks by the thin orange lines.

In a recent experiment, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN produced particles believed to have only existed in the moments following the Big Bang. This remarkable achievement offers valuable ...

Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...

It sounds fantastical, but it’s a reality for the scientists who work at the world’s largest particle collider: In an underground tunnel some 350 feet beneath the France–Switzerland border, a huge ...

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.

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

For a while, in the Middle Ages, there was a real craze for trying to turn unassuming lead into pure, gleaming gold. Perhaps those ancient alchemists should have been building a particle collider.

Fulfilling the dream of medieval alchemists, physicists have observed the transmutation of lead into gold—through nuclear physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's most powerful particle ...

Since inaugural operations began in 2008, the LHC has allowed researchers to probe some of the universe’s most profound and mysterious forces. But investigating the deepest questions of modern physics ...
