All experiments broke records in the final full operating year of the third run of the LHC.

A boiling sea of quarks and gluons, including virtual ones—this is how we can imagine the main phase of high-energy proton ...

On April 3 last year, the left-hand side of the Fermilab Today website had a graphical weather forecast depicting storm clouds. It was a fitting metaphor for the mood of the US lab, which had recently ...

For the first time, scientists at the Large Hadron Collider have collided protons with lead ions, a feat that will give them insight into the quark-gluon plasma. For most of the year, two beams of ...

Physicists send an ultra-clean, miniature ping-pong ball through part of the Large Hadron Collider beam pipe to test for hidden defects. Sometimes the best solutions in high-energy physics research ...

Deep under the border of Switzerland and France, a massive ring-shaped installation blasts particles into one another at incredible speeds. Scientists observe these collisions, allowing them to ...

After an almost two-year shutdown for repairs and upgrades, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is beginning to fire back up for its next phase of probing the mysteries of physics. Its newest particle ...

The Large Hadron Collider will not be ready in time to perform a low-energy "engineering run", which was originally scheduled to take place this November, according to an official at CERN. This will ...

The Large Hadron Collider project faces challenges after a quadrupole magnet failure during a 20-bar test, sparking concerns. The failure occured during a test which simulated what the magnet might ...

It didn't take long for the Large Hadron Collider to push the boundaries of science once more. The LHCb experiment team has discovered the existence of "pentaquarks," or subatomic particles where ...
