CERN's large hadron collider is responsible for discovering the Higgs boson particle in 2012, which confirmed a hypothesis from as early as 1964.

CERN has just upgraded the world’s largest particle accelerator after successfully powering a new ...

CERN shuts down the Large Hadron Collider for four years to prepare a major upgrade that could transform particle physics.

The famous particle accelerator has gone silent, but its next chapter could usher in a new era of particle physics.

When you think of a particle accelerator, you usually think of some giant cyclotron with heavy-duty equipment in a massive mad-science lab. But scientists now believe they can create particle ...

According to one researcher, this observation "promises new insights into the evolution of the early universe." ...

Xsuite drew CERN's fragmented beam-simulation tools into a single framework, used to operate existing colliders, design ...

Particle accelerators, also known as particle colliders or atom smashers, have been responsible for some of the most exciting physics findings over the past century, including the discovery of the ...

Deep beneath the border of France and Switzerland is the most massive, most ambitious experiment ever undertaken by humanity. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator that uses a ...

The role magnets play in physics research is a critical one, helping guide the trajectory of particle beams that allow for high-speed collisions and groundbreaking discoveries. But not all magnets are ...

A particle accelerator that produces intense X-rays could be squeezed into a device that fits on a table, my colleagues and I have found in a new research project. The way that intense X-rays are ...
