CERN scientists used the Large Hadron Collider to create gold nuclei through near-miss collisions of lead atoms. Discover how modern alchemy became a reality.

The second stage involves a proton-proton collider capable of generating “an unprecedented collision energy” of about 100 tera-electronvolts (TeV). The FCC isn’t a done deal yet, however.

Scientists from the ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) at CERN's Large Hadron Collider reported evidence of a new antimatter particle called antihyperhelium-4, essentially the "evil twin" ...

This means the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the most powerful particle accelerator ever built, has given scientists a glimpse into conditions that existed when the universe was less than a second old.

New research using a decommissioned section of the beam pipe from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN has brought scientists closer than ever before to test whether magnetic monopoles exist.

Each winter, the collider and its experiments hibernate. My and other teams at CERN push them to take this winter nap for a few reasons. The machines we use here are complex.

At CERN, the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, smashes protons at the highest energy ever reached to create new particles, which physicists then catch and study with several experiments.

New Large Hadron Collider results While the result was tantalizing, it wasn’t conclusive. All measurements come with a certain degree of uncertainty or “error”.

But scientists are under pressure to convince funders that such an enormous investment is worth it, following the lack of new physics revealed by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

Until now The world's largest particle collider still has much to teach us about the physical laws of the universe By Matthew Rozsa Published August 31, 2023 6:00AM (EDT) ...
