As the name suggests, particle accelerators involve accelerating subatomic particles to incredibly high speeds and smashing ...

This Is a Big Deal! exclaims Geoff Brumfiel at Nature: "I can't think of another case where the future of an entire field hinges on the success of a single experiment...It could verify current ...

A lot of the science from our accelerators is published long after collisions end, so storing experimental data for future physicists is crucial.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC)--the world's largest, most ambitious atom smasher--hardly needs to be oversold. But even before construction ceased on the $10 billion, 17-mile-long, underground ...

On 1954, European nations came together to create Cern, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, marking a new era for ...

Scientists at CERN’s ATLAS experiment have uncovered compelling evidence of Higgs bosons decaying into muons, an incredibly rare event that could deepen our understanding of how particles acquire mass ...

Mini Museum sells all manner of cool collectibles, from T. Rex teeth and tiny bits from space shuttles to a section of cable from the Brooklyn Bridge. The IC chip from the CRAY-1 from Mini Museum is ...

This summer, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) took a breath of fresh air. Normally filled with beams of protons, the 27-km ...

The key test passed by sPHENIX to prove it is ready to measure the properties of quark-gluon plasma is called a "standard candle" in particle physics. This isn't to be confused with Type 1a supernovas ...
