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 ...

Yen-Jie Lee, the MIT physics professor who led the analysis, puts the result in a single line: quark-gluon plasma really is a ...

Using the Large Hadron Collider, the world's most powerful particle accelerator, scientists are on the hunt for quantum black holes smaller than atoms.

It’s the end of an era for particle physicists: They just said good-bye to the famed Large Hadron Collider — in its current form, anyway. The LHC, the particle collider at the European particle ...

The High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) is a major upgrade of the existing LHC that will allow ATLAS to collect about six times more data than today, opening a new era of precision measurements and searches ...

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Switzerland, is a particle accelerator. Here, physicists bring particles to extreme speeds and then let them collide to answer questions and test theories in ...
