Deep inside every atom lies a restless world of quarks and gluons—the tiny building blocks that hold everything together, from rocks to stars. For decades, physicists have tried to understand how ...

CERN has just upgraded the world’s largest particle accelerator after successfully powering a new generation of superconducting magnets to their full operating current earlier this month. The European ...

Newswise — A study is published in the journal of Nuclear Science and Techniques, researchers led by Prof. Hua Zheng from Shaanxi Normal University, heralding a significant breakthrough in high-energy ...

As the old physics wisdom goes, to answer big questions, build big machines. To that idea, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has really delivered on all fronts in its last 16 years of operations.

Restarting the Large Hadron Collider -- the $10 billion research tool's full name -- has been "a herculean effort," CERN's director for accelerators, Steve Myers, said in a statement announcing the ...

Nobel laureate Ernest Rutherford had already shown that radioactive materials sometimes emitted particles, naturally changing the makeup of their atomic nuclei. When energetic particles collided with ...

New experimental results show particles called muons can be corralled into beams suitable for high-energy collisions, paving the way for new physics. New experimental results show particles called ...

Some of the 1232 dipole magnets that bend the path of accelerated protons are pictured in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which will be shut down for four years of ...
