The famous particle accelerator has gone silent, but its next chapter could usher in a new era of particle physics.

Lepton-lepton scattering has been observed for the first time at a hadron collider, as the CMS Collaboration at CERN ...

The Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest atom smasher, has shut down for a planned 4-year upgrade that will make it 10 times more sensitive than its initial version.

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, ...

A brotherly research duo has discovered that when the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produces top quarks -- the heaviest known fundamental particles -- it regularly creates a property known as magic. A ...
