After overcoming some hurdles, researchers operated the Large Hadron Collider at its highest energy level yet on Tuesday, gathering data after smashing protons into each other. The huge underground ...

The ATLAS and CMS experiments have observed a process 4,000 times rarer than the production of Higgs bosons. The ATLAS and CMS experiments have successfully detected the production of a quartet of top ...

All experiments broke records in the final full operating year of the third run of the LHC. All four LHC experiments performed extremely well throughout the 2025 proton run, detecting more collisions ...

After a three-year-long nap, the world’s largest particle collider is awake and ready to help physicists probe the very edge of science itself, including the possible existence of a mysterious fifth ...

The revamped LHC will see more particle collisions and mind-blowing energy levels to hunt for dark matter and extra dimensions. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

The big picture: The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) hosts one of the most ambitious engineering and scientific endeavors ever undertaken by humans. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) ...

University of Texas at Arlington physicists are preparing the Titan supercomputer at Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility in Tennessee to support the analysis of data generated from the ...

Why do we exist? This is arguably the most profound question there is and one that may seem completely outside the scope of particle physics. But our new experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider has ...

Engineers and technicians have begun to close experiments in preparation for the next run. The LHC is preparing to restart at almost double the collision energy of its previous run. The new energy ...

The world’s particle physics community is meeting this week in Venice (Italy) for the EPS International Conference on High Energy Physics. Dozens of new results from the full existing datasets of the ...

After a delay from an electrical hiccup, researchers at CERN successfully operate the Large Hadron Collider and see "beautiful tracks" of colliding protons. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 ...
