Scientists have analyzed data gathered from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider to advance our understanding of why anything exists.… That existential statement is necessary because scientists think that the ...

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 ...

This summer, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) took a breath of fresh air. Normally filled with beams of protons, the 27-km ring was reconfigured to enable its first oxygen–oxygen and neon–neon ...

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 ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC)--the world's largest, most ambitious atom smasher--hardly needs to be oversold. But even before construction ceased on the $10 billion, 17-mile-long, underground ...

The ALICE Collaboration is a winner of the 2025 Gizmodo Science Fair for transforming lead into gold for a fraction of a second and exposing the strange physics that goes on inside the Large Hadron ...

ALICE experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, where KU nuclear physicists helped detect gold, briefly, during ultra-peripheral collisions. LAWRENCE — Nuclear physicists working at the Large Hadron ...

Pioneering work Illustration of how a proton collision (left) at the Large Hadron Collider creates a beauty baryon (centre) that then decays into products that are detected by LHCb (right). (Courtesy: ...
