The Large Hadron Collider uses a 27-kilometer loop on the French-Swiss border. Black holes are created when stars larger than the sun collapse on themselves, generating so much gravity that even ...

A new study proposes that discovering a single exotic particle at the LHC could falsify string theory as we know it.

The largest machine ever built is shutting down for two years of upgrades. Take an immersive tour of the collider and study the remnants of a Higgs particle in augmented reality. DEC. 21, 2018 We ...

Alchemists eat your heart out. Researchers at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider achieved the once-impossible dream of alchemists by turning lead into gold — but only for a split second.

The Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest particle accelerator, is back online, as is the usual hype that it will destroy the world. (It won't.) ...

Using the Large Hadron Collider and the ALICE detector scientists have found the heavist antimatter particle yet, generated in Big Bang like conditions.

Medieval alchemists toiled unsuccessfully to change lead into gold, but physicists at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland had better luck – though for only a microsecond. Instead of alchemy ...

In a breakthrough that would make medieval alchemists envious, scientists at Europe's Large Hadron Collider have successfully transformed lead into gold, producing 89,000 atoms per second.

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 ...

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector assembly is pictured in a tunnel of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN), during maintenance works on ...

CERN restarted its Large Hadron Collider after a regular winter stop for maintenance. It is unrelated to the eclipse.

A brotherly research duo has discovered that when the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produces top quarks -- the heaviest known fundamental particles -- it regularly creates a property known as magic.
