Deep beneath the serene landscape straddling the border of France and Switzerland, a marvel of modern science and engineering lies in wait. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, a massive particle ...

Scientists in Switzerland have begun the cooldown of a 312-foot-long test stand for the ...

A 3.7 centimetre-wide robot has been designed to travel along the 27-kilometre Large Hadron Collider to allow remote ...

Alchemists eat your heart out. Researchers at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider achieved the once-impossible dream of alchemists by turning lead into gold — but only for a split second. The world’s largest ...

To ensure seamless integration, CERN has built, in an above-ground test hall, a full-scale test stand called the Inner Triplet String (IT String), which mirrors the underground configuration ( CERN ...

The world’s most powerful particle accelerator has shattered every previous record, marking a pivotal moment for scientific exploration. In 2025, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) generated more ...

Following a two-year shutdown for maintenance and upgrades, Ned Stafford looks at how the LHC has been improved to allow researchers to hunt for new particles Power boost The upgrade and maintenance ...

The Large Hadron Collider is entering a rare quiet spell, with its proton collisions halted so engineers can prepare the machine for a more powerful future. The shutdown is not a sign of trouble so ...

A worker rides on his bicycle in the CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) tunnel during maintenance. In late May, I had a chance to visit CERN, near Geneva, and visit with Jakub Mościcki, head of CERN’s ...

When you push “start” on your microwave or computer, the device flips right on — but major physics experiments like the Large Hadron Collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known ...

Researchers at the CERN particle physics laboratory’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland have discovered a new type of particle called a strange pentaquark. Finding exotic particles like this ...
