It’s difficult to overstate just how much the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has helped advance our understanding of the ...

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

Cern has switched off the Large Hadron Collider for a four-year shutdown and overhaul. The work will prepare the machine for ...

High-Luminosity LHC upgrade work has begun at CERN after the Large Hadron Collider logged its final collision on June 27, 2026, entering a four-year, $1.5 billion Long Shutdown 3 program to replace 1.

The High-Luminosity LHC will be mostly the same machine, but it'll deliver 10 times the luminosity and just as little chance ...

As the Large Hadron Collider switches off its beams for a four-year overhaul, the question is no longer what it has found but whether anything bigger is worth building ...

The late physicist Joseph Polchinski once said the existence of magnetic monopoles is "one of the safest bets that one can make about physics not yet seen." In its quest for these particles, which ...

When I arrived at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in the prairie suburbs west of Chicago to begin my ...

In collisions between protons at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), pairs of top quarks—the heaviest known elementary particles—are frequently produced along with other heavy quarks, including bottom ...

Scientists working at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider may be seeing the strongest hints yet of physics beyond the Standard Model — the decades-old theory that explains the fundamental particles and ...
