In 2016, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) approved the high-luminosity large hadron collider (HL-LHC) upgrade project. LHC is currently the largest and most powerful particle ...

CERN scientists at the world’s largest particle accelerator have made a unique antimatter breakthrough, which they believe could crack open the mystery behind the Big Bang itself. The discovery, ...

Europe's physics lab CERN on Thursday said private donors had pledged $1 billion toward the construction of a new particle accelerator that would be by far the world's biggest. In a first, private ...

Physicists at the world's largest particle accelerator have made a first-of-its-kind discovery about antimatter that could help solve one of the universe's biggest mysteries. The discovery — made at ...

The cows grazing by the roads outside Geneva, Switzerland, have witnessed some pretty strange things these past few years: Trucks roll by carrying big, superconducting magnets that look like missiles, ...

For the first time in the history of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), donors from the private sector ...

At the world’s most powerful colliders, physicists are finally catching sight of particles that almost never leave a trace, a “ghost” signal that has haunted theory for decades. The detection of these ...

As of 1 January 2026, Raimond Snellings will join CERN’s Science Council as a representative of the Netherlands. The Council is the highest decision-making body of the world’s largest particle physics ...

Mike Martens, professor of physics, will present “Particle Accelerators: The World’s Largest Machines” at the next Origins Science Scholars Program series event. The session will be held Tuesday, Nov.

Medieval alchemists toiled unsuccessfully to change lead into gold, but physicists at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland had better luck – though for only a microsecond. Instead of alchemy, ...

GENEVA (AP)  — Additional safety features being added to the world's largest particle accelerator will postpone its startup until the end of September, a year after the $10 billion machine ...

If dark matter is made from "dark" versions of the basic building blocks of ordinary matter, the world's largest particle accelerator should be able to pin it down, a new study suggests. When you ...
