Physicists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have uncovered new hints that certain particle decays may not behave as the ...
Scientists have activated the smallest particle accelerator ever built—a tiny device roughly the size of a coin. This advancement opens new doors for particle acceleration, promising exciting ...

Muons are a key subatomic particle in the discovery of new physics, but after particle collision, they’re difficult to track.
Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we might be closing in on signs of undiscovered physics. If confirmed, these ...
After several years of reflection and international collaboration, CERN has just completed a major study: can we build a new giant particle accelerator, even more ambitious than the LHC? This project, ...
As people around the country await the April 8 total eclipse, conspiracy theories about a Switzerland-based nuclear research facility have some social media users on edge. In their view is CERN, also ...
Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy collisions produce a shower of subatomic fragments that scientists ...
I don't know about you, but ever since I started covering the Large Hadron Collider and other large-scale particle accelerators for ExtremeTech, I've always morbidly wondered: What would happen if a ...
