At the Large Hadron Collider, scientists from the University of Kansas achieved a fleeting form of modern-day alchemy — turning lead into gold for just a fraction of a second. Using ultra-peripheral ...

Scientists have long sought evidence to refute string theory, but a new test seeks to disprove key aspects with help from the ...

Supermassive black holes might secretly be smashing particles at energies beyond our best labs, offering a new path to discover dark matter without building a giant collider.

Large Hadron Collider The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's most powerful particle collider. The LHC was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) near Geneva.

Nuclear physicists working at the Large Hadron Collider recently made headlines by achieving the centuries-old dream of alchemists (and nightmare of ...

The custom-designed chips will be used in the ATLAS detector to measure up to 1.5 billion particle collisions per second.

Scientists from the University of Kansas working on the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider developed the technique that tracked “ultra-peripheral” collisions between protons and ions that ...

The discovery of the Higgs boson hasn’t led to an explosion of new physics as many predicted. Now, some scientists think that ...

A groundbreaking quantum device small enough to fit in your hand could one day answer one of the biggest questions in science ...

Although the antimatter qubit won't find use in quantum computing, it will be used to test the differences between matter and antimatter.

Neutrino oscillation is weird, but it may be weird in a useful way, because it might allow physicists to probe certain fundamental symmetries in nature—and these in turn may illuminate the most ...
