The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) gets a breath of fresh air as it collides beams of protons and oxygen ions for the very first time. Oxygen–oxygen and neon–neon collisions are also on the menu of the ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) represents a pinnacle of high-energy physics research, where colliding proton beams at unprecedented energies have propelled exploration into the subatomic realm.

In physics, there are two great pillars of thought that don't quite fit together. The Standard Model of particle physics describes all known fundamental particles and three forces: electromagnetism, ...

Measurements at the Large Hadron Collider have been stymied by one of the most central phenomena of the quantum world. But now, a young researcher has championed a new method to solve the problem ...

Mini Museum sells all manner of cool collectibles, from T. Rex teeth and tiny bits from space shuttles to a section of cable from the Brooklyn Bridge. The IC chip from the CRAY-1 from Mini Museum is ...

Scientists at CERN’s ATLAS experiment have uncovered compelling evidence of Higgs bosons decaying into muons, an incredibly rare event that could deepen our understanding of how particles acquire mass ...

A lot of the science from our accelerators is published long after collisions end, so storing experimental data for future physicists is crucial. About a billion pairs of particles collide every ...
